THEY DON'T CARE. giving into this city equals even more cities that will put up similar fights, and so on. the process of suing the cities that try to stop them is so much cheaper to do than to bury all the boxes. it's a business decision by the deathstar...which is almost completely operational.

idjk @sprintlink.net	If they put them it what is called 'CEV' controlled environment vault (kinda of like a old bomb shelter or a 8x8x12 room about 12-15 feet down). There is still a fair sized box up top about 4x6x 2 feet high that has the locked door access to ladder and the a/c unit and blower for 'controlled environment'- can't be to hot or damp. But because of the expense these are usually only put at industrial parks or entrance to very large neighborhoods, they usually have fiber meet points for mux's and still have above ground cross boxes around the area that are not much smaller that these boxes.

rradina join:2000-08-08 Chesterfield, MO	reply to Ahrenl That was my thought. I was thinking not hydraulic but work-gear jack. The maintenance worker could connect a truck-powered portable electric motor to the jack socket. Hook it up, flip the switch and watch it rise out of the ground. Ventilation and drainage might be a challenge but I'd rather have a ground-level grate in my front yard than a puke green monolith.
