Alpine town hall meeting will be
opportunity to speak out on SRPL
ALPINE — Alpine residents, businesses &
Alpine Boulevard property owners: You are invited to a critical
Alpine Town Hall meeting, Thursday, Jan. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at
the Alpine Community Center.
Our Supervisor, Dianne Jacob, will be speaking on the
impacts to Alpine from the approved SDG&E Sunrise Powerlink plan
to underground two 230kV feeder transmission lines beneath
Alpine Boulevard.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide facts on
impacts regarding this massive $200 million construction project
that SDG&E expects could take up to two years.
The project scope is for two 4-foot wide by 7-foot deep
concreted trenches beneath 6.2 miles of Alpine Boulevard from
Star Valley Road in the east to near Arnold Way in the west.
Interspaced along the transmission feeder excavation trenches
will be nearly 34 underground concrete vaults 12-feet wide by
10-feet deep by 20-feet long for cable pulling construction and
for subsequent ongoing maintenance and operation.
The heavy equipment, work crews, dust, noise, etc. will
substantially affect your daily routines, quality of life and
traffic flow; more specifically they will impact your
businesses, the ingress & egress from your properties, and the
safety of you, your families and if a business operator, your
customers.
If this construction proceeds as approved, it will
begin May 2010. It is in the best interests of Alpine’s
businesses and citizenry to seek project mitigation that would
ultimately make Alpine a better and more prosperous place to
live, and its environmental resource better protected.
We are committed to keeping the Alpine community
informed and to know the facts.
We look forward to seeing you on Jan. 14. Come and hear
Supervisor, Dianne Jacob, comment on this massive and disruptive
project.
