Cuenca Mayor: Cuenca aims to be a city with fewer cables on poles

Cuenca4Ríos has cited Cuenca Mayor Cristian Zamora about cables hanging above streets:

"After almost 9 months of studies and evaluations, I have received the report to start a long process of controlling cables on poles. Only 9% of the poles with cables comply with current regulations, 47% do not comply with ANY regulations, and 43% comply with some regulations but not others.

Next week, I will make an official presentation of the current situation, inviting stakeholders and the general public. I will propose the start of public discussions and improvements to a draft ordinance.

I will explain the phases to organize the cables, require service providers to comply with the regulations, and outline the phases for underground cabling.

With determination and planning, we are starting this transformation process, which will take several years, but my administration has decided to begin a process of order after approving the ordinance that I will present to the Council."
