PGE transmission lines on Stafford Road
Summary
Residents of the rural Stafford Road area say PGE is installing 100-to-140-foot industrial transmission poles along a designated scenic road, even while their appeal to the state Land Use Board of Appeals is pending. They cite fire risk, property value losses, and a county approval process that left the cities sidelined. The city attorney is reviewing options.
