Comments
- Staff · June 16, 2025Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. An inspection was conducted at the location behind 701 Richmond Highway. The inspector confirmed that while the issue appears adjacent to the City’s alley, the wire is located on private property. Based on the site conditions, the line in question may belong to either Comcast or Verizon. At this time, we are reaching out to the respective utility providers to determine ownership of the line and to coordinate any necessary action. We will continue to monitor the situation and follow up as appropriate once ownership is confirmed.
