Hello Mayor Kate and Jim Schutz,
I was not able to send comments regarding the underground utility district resolution.
I live in a house on the canal, and I will share my views now. Please let me know if there are other people that are involved with this project, that I can send my comments to.
Those of us in the canal district are aware that there have been many power outages in the past that were purported to be from the effect that storms have on above ground utility lines.
I am imagining that the underground utility resolution is in consideration of both the aesthetic quality of having no above ground wires/poles as well as that underground utilities are less likely to be damaged due to storms.
It is important to me that we take into consideration how electrical utilities/lines affect human health since they do produce electro magnetic frequencies and our hearts and brains are greatly affected by electromagnetic fields.
If these utilities are placed underground, how far underground will they go, and who is in charge of measuring electromagnetic fields the emit from either poles and lines, or underground facilities?
Will the public know where the lines/utilities are placed in terms of exact locations? It is important given that the ADA recognizes electromagnetic sensitivity as a disability; and the increase in electrical gadgets/wifi, etc. has made it so that we are all exponentially exposed to frequencies that are not part of our human design and emf's can and do interfere with fundamental biological processes.
It is also important to me that the removal of electrical lines and poles does not pave the way for telecommunication equipment such as wifi equipment to occupy the space where poles and lines used to be, especially 5G technology and above, as those frequencies have been proven to have a hazardous effect on human health and psychology.
If this proposal goes through, how will the residents of this area be supported in regards to traffic in this incredibly densely populated area of San Rafael? Thank you for listening.
