AT&T to Install New Cable Lines
Beginning in mid-March and concluding in December, AT&T will install new cable service lines along Dranesville Road, Madison Street and Van Buren Street. Minimal disruption to residents and businesses is anticipated; the contractor will provide advance notice to those potentially affected by construction activities and will keep residents and businesses informed as the work approaches their neighborhoods.
To minimize disruption, the majority of the work will be performed by underground boring behind existing sidewalks and in easements. All disturbed property will be restored to its original condition. Contractors will be working from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. off the roadway and, when necessary, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. within the roadway. Traffic will be controlled as needed.
The Public Works Projects page of the town’s website, www.herndon-va.gov, will be updated throughout the life of the project as warranted. Residents and business owners may contact Public Works at 703-435-6860 or public.works@herndon-va.gov.

The story “Relay for Life Kicks Off 10th Walk” stated that Herndon Relay For life has raised more than $300,000 in its 10-year history. It has actually raised $1.4 million.
