More stress for some residents of St. Albert this summer! For the last two years we have fought for a better ring road alignment and now we face the Heartland Transmission power project.
Some Akinsdale, Grandin and Heritage Lakes homes will endure a six-to-10 lane ring road right behind our fences (without a berm, wall or sometimes even trees) and the accompanying noise, fumes, dust and dangerous goods route!
However, if our route is chosen (out of four possibilities) we will also get 165 to 200-foot tall power towers along the Anthony Henday Drive. That is 50 feet taller than the average double circuit towers we see around Edmonton.
I sure don’t trust the maps we have been provided with either — remember what happened with the road alignment and promises to keep the trees?
Doesn’t this power project belong somewhere else?
