What are the considerations in selecting a route for the transmission line and how will you address our interests related to aesthetics?
The PUCT rules specify several factors that Lone Star must consider. These include community values, recreational and park areas, historic and aesthetic values and environmental integrity. Existing roads and transmission lines will be evaluated as potential co-locations for the new transmission line. Once the route is selected, careful placement of individual poles, such as adjacent to property lines, may also minimize the transmission line’s effect on the area. Our crews will clean up and restore the area to as close to its original condition as possible. We share the public’s desires for an aesthetically pleasing landscape. That’s why we ask the community to help us by sharing their interests and giving us an opportunity to address these interests.
