METUCHEN, NJ – On Monday, Metuchen adopted an ordinance authorizing a rights-of-way agreement with Comcast. The ordinance permits the installation, use, and maintenance of cable and internet facilities by Comcast in Metuchen. According to the ordinance, “it is in the best interests of the Borough and its citizens” to grant non-exclusive consent to Comcast to occupy the public rights-of-way within Metuchen. Last month, Mayor Jonathan M Busch said residents have expressed their desire for more choices in internet and cable providers for years. Officials actively engaged with Comcast, working to secure their investment in Metuchen. In January, the Borough introduced the ordinance and the second reading was held on Feb. 10. “This will potentially allow comcast to open lines here in Metuchen which is a big deal,” Busch said. Council president Jason Delia said he was glad the ordinance was going through as it would provide residents with more options. According to the ordinance, the Borough’s consent is and shall be conditional upon Comcast’s application and it obtaining the required authorization from the Board to construct, operate, and maintain a cable television system within Metuchen. Comcast will have to comply with all existing and future applicable ordinances and they have to enter into a written agreement with the Metuchen to indemnify and hold the Borough harmless as to all claims and liability resulting from any injury or damage caused by Comcast which may arise from the construction, installation, and any related work. The ordinance was adopted unanimously. Have a correction or news tip? Email [email protected]
