115 S 16TH ST encroachment permit to close curb lane for fiber optic work

Hutchins Telecom (working with Charter) will close the S 16th St curb lane at 115 S 16th St — between Congress St and W Main St — from April 20–27, 2026 to overlash fiber‑optic cable onto an existing strand on Congress St. The permit notes no excavation or street restoration, so it sounds more like a curb‑lane squeeze than a dig; crews will notify affected residents in person one week ahead and leave dated door hangers along the nearby blocks. The property is owned by Michael R. and Susan S. Buehner, and the recorded contacts are applicant Chris Lindsey (Yates Engineering) and contractor Scott Heun (Hutchins Telecom) for questions.
