Nearly 2,000 PG&E customers are still without power nearly a week after a winter storm dumped a foot of snow in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
crew was using chainsaws to cut a 200-foot Douglas Fir into more manageable pieces. That tree fell during the recent storm, blocking Black Road to repair vehicles.
"So the damage is very impactful to this community. And to be able to complete repairs safely to customers who are impacted in this area, we do need to close a section of the road," said Tostado. She said a two-mile stretch of Black Road, from Gist Road to Highway 35, will be closed Thursday and Friday, to allow PG&E crews to restring lines and restore service.None of this can come too quickly for the 200 residents living along Black Road. Even if all goes well, they’ll be without power for about a week.
