It looks likewe only have one outstanding camera to get permittedandinstalledforyou. 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 CalTrans required structural analysis for this location. This should take ~1-2 weeks to complete, then we can get that over to CalTrans so that they can continue their review of this permit request. I will keep you updated here as this location progresses but please feel free to refer to your Google Tracker (location details) and your Deployment Tracker (real-time updates) in the meantime. Thank you!
