SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A fight between San Francisco’s utilities commission and Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is delaying plans for new streetlights in a city neighborhood.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Sunday (https://bit.ly/2jhgzdS ) that the utilities commission is accusing PG&E of quadrupling connection fees for the lights in the Tenderloin neighborhood to $107,000 without explaining why.
PG&E spokeswoman Andrea Menniti said the new service fees reflect the current costs and the number of crews needed for the work.
The $4.2 million streetlight improvement project would bring 100 new streetlights to the Tenderloin - one of the city’s higher-crime communities.
