SAFA assists John Whitsett to put Google Fiber On Hold!!!

An article in the San Antonio Express News yesterday states, “City Manager Sheryl Sculley told the City Council in an email Wednesday that installation of a major part of Google Fiber’s infrastructure has been put on hold because of “constraints” of several municipally owned properties.

The decision to halt the massive infrastructure project comes after months of complaints from residents in a Northeast Side neighborhood upset that Google was allowed to install a so-called “fiber hut” in their tiny Haskin Park. Those residents joined with their counterparts from District 3, who faced planned huts in a park and on a vacant lot between two homes.”

Thank you everyone who has been supporting this issue to get the City to do the right thing!  We are half way there. Please call or write Mayor Taylor for taking the lead on this issue and doing the right thing. There is just one more component and that is restoration of Haskin Park. If it is wrong for the other Parks, it is wrong for Haskin Park. Nevertheless, you have helped save multiple parks around town and made the city think about how they go about things.
