Fiber optics plan tabled

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council tabled a request Monday to allow fiber optic cable to be installed through the city as part of the Illinois Fiber Resources Group (iFiber) project. Council members had questions pertaining to repair of any damage and the exact route of the fiber optic cables.

“It's obviously not drawn to scale,” city engineer Jack Kusek said of diagrams issued by the project's engineers.

Kusek said he would be fine with the construction as long as the installers worked closely with street superintendent John Schultz. Schultz had concerns about how deep they plan to dig, what they plan to dig up and how they are going to put it back.
