BURY THE POWERLINES



The Friends of India Point Park are on a mission to raise 6.5 million dollars to bury the powerlines at India Point Park. They make some compelling arguments...


1) It's now or never. If we don't bury them now, we'll be stuck with them for a century.
2) While the cost is expensive (6.5 million more than stringing them overland) it's a drop in the bucket compared to the overall cost of moving the highway (part of the project)
3) Our waterfront is our tourism heritage. Do we really want Powerlines intruding on our beautiful shoreline?

You can read others at their website. There will also be a meeting TONIGHT (Wednesday , June 11) at the Vartan Gregorian School to discuss this subject. The meeting is at 7 pm Your presence is critical if you want to bury the powerlines. (If a lot of people don't show up, they won't consider it, and it then becomes a moot point.

Save our Park! See you at the meeting!
