Sunesys/Crown Castle will be installing fiber optic cables and associated equipment at N. Ashland and W. Addison. These improvements will enhance the speed and dependability of wireless communications in the area. The impacted area of the project is depicted below.

Type of Construction: The fiber optic cables will be installed underground (within right-of-ways) using directional boring, in order to minimize damage to the right-of-ways as well as some open cut trenching. There will also be installation of communication manholes, quazite boxes and the replacement of light pole(s). After installation, splicing will be performed to complete the project. In the event that pedestrian or vehicle traffic needs to be altered to accommodate construction equipment, barriers and signage will be installed to ensure the safety of those in the area. Any disturbed areas will receive an immediate temporary restoration solution, with a permanent restoration to previous or better condition to be performed later.

Impacted Area: Construction will start at under the sidewalk on the east side of N. Ashland at 3357 N. Ashland north to W. Addison, under the south sidewalk of W. Addison from N. Ashland to the first alley east of N. Ashland, across W. Addison into the alley east of N. Ashland and north of W. Addison to the first wooden ComEd pole.

Parking Restrictions: No parking signs will be posted along the following boundaries and will be in effect during construction hours:
