Howdy All - Nice to virtually meet you! It looks like we only have one outstanding camera )to get permitted and installed for you. Unfortunately we were unable to get those requested as-builts for this pole, however, a Flock Technician went out and took the needed measurements of the pole. Those measurements and images have been sent to our permitting vendor to complete the CalTransrequired structural analysisfor thislocation. they can continue their review of this permit request.

Google Tracker (location details) and your Deployment Tracker (real-time updates) in the meantime. Thank you!

I hope you are having a fantastic Friday. CalTrans has notified us that the local agency in this case the City has to actually file the CEQA Exemption with the California Clearinghouse. EBI has completed the CEQA Notice of Exemption (NOE). Please sign or have Public Works sign it and send us a copy. There is a date highlighted in yellow that needs to be updated when it is submitted. Let us know the date in which they submit to the clearing house. Then we can resubmit to CalTrans with the signed NOE. Please let us know if you have any questions.

We have submitted the request to EBl (environmental consultant) to prepare they thenhave topost theCEQA exemption application to theCaliforniaState Clearinghouse for 30 days to allow other agencies to review and comment if they have any concerns. Once the 30 days is up, EBl will produce a CEQA exemption document that we will then resubmit to CalTrans along with the policy exception letter and the revised site plans. CalTrans will then review.
