Fiber Optic Cable Install in Four Hills Village
Circet/Blue Streak started installing fiber optic cable in Four Hills for Gigapower/AT&T on Wednesday, May 20. The total project will take place in five stages over the next four to six weeks. See the phasing breakdown below. Construction is permitted Monday through Saturday, from 7 am to 4 pm.
Each household should receive a letter from Blue Streak, and have a door hanger placed on their front door a few days before construction. Work will take place within the utility right of way on individual properties, and will start by boring or digging a trench to lay the fiber optic cable. Workers will return the following day to install equipment. Work on each property will take two to three days.
On 95% of properties, Blue Streak will bore underground rather than dig open trenches to lay the cable lines. A small number of properties may require open trenching. Either way, Blue Streak is required by City law to replace any landscaping that is disturbed by the construction. Councilor Grout’s office recommends taking pictures of your front yard landscaping to ensure that it is restored to its pre-construction condition.
Phasing Schedule:
Phase I: Bernalillo Place, Cuatro Cerros Trail, Sagebrush Trail, Speakman Drive, Bush Court, Stagecoach Lane, Camino Cerrito, Ranch Trail, Ranch Court, Caballero Drive.
Phase II: Bernalillo Place, Catron Avenue, Catron Court, Castellano Road, Castellano Court, Wagon Trail Drive, Sobra Court, Conestoga Drive.
Phase III: La Cabra Drive, La Cabra Court, Soplo Road, Camino Cerrito, Quimera Trail, Pedregoso Place, Pedregoso Court, Stagecoach Road, Arenas Place.
Phase IV: Stagecoach Road, La Tuna Place, Quimera Trail, Cerros De Morado, Soplo Road, Camino Cerrito, Stagecoach Lane, Sagebrush Trail, Sagebrush Court.
Phase V: Warm Sands Drive, Martingale Lane, Stagecoach Road, Four Hills Road, Winterwood Way, Winterwood Place, Autumnwood Place.
The City of Albuquerque’s Broadband Office, Municipal Development Department, and Planning Department are each playing a role in setting standards for fiber installation, issuing permits, and conducting inspections to ensure the work is done properly.
A successful project has a lot of interconnected pieces: existing utilities must be mapped properly when they are installed and marked properly before construction begins, and the contractor needs to take care to follow the markings carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, call Blue Streak’s customer service line at 505-420-5195 right away.
Construction processes are always painful, but pay dividends when they are finished. Fiber Optic Cable carries more data at higher speeds than coaxial cable, and transmits at speeds of up to 10 Gigabytes per second. It is more reliable because the glass lines do not have to be energized, and are resistant to corrosion and temperature fluctuations.If you need help, Councilor Grout’s office is just a call away at 505-768-3123 or you can email [email protected].
