She shared this link that details where crews are expected to work in the next few days. This week, they’re in the Bitter Lake area.

I live off 143rd and Linden and the Comcast trucks have been here since 7 a.m. in both Comcast TV cable and Comcast internet are totally off in my neighborhood as of 7 a.m. supposed to be on at 4 p.m. we’ll see.😞
