Incline project could boost cell service

AT&T wants to install overhead fiber optic lines on existing poles near Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Incline Village.

The idea is that people would have better cell phone and Internet service.

The U.S. Forest Service, as landowners, will decide if the project goes forward.

No land has to be disturbed in the 10,740-square-foot area where the 1,074-feet of line would go.

Public comment is being taken through May.
