In an announcement Tuesday, PG&E officials urged even those who can’t make it to the upcoming meeting to submit comments to CPUC urging the commission to allow PG&E to proceed with planned underground work at apps.cpuc.ca.gov/c/A2106021.
The virtual discussion is scheduled from 5:30-7 p.m. on Thursday (Oct. 26) via video conference.
