CMP transmission line upgrades through North Deering
Summary
Residents from Ocean Ridge and Ledgewood condominiums warned the council about CMP's proposed transmission upgrade: 110-foot steel poles, a 100-150 foot cleared corridor, tree clearing near homes, and damage to Portland Trails along the corridor. They asked the council to demand an independent assessment of need before the PUC approves anything.

Impact analysis
Residents worry ratepayers could bear significant costs and that alternative solutions may be cheaper; a ratepayer cost assessment was requested.
If alternatives are adopted, neighborhoods, trail users and ratepayers across Greater Portland benefit.
Homeowners and trail users along the corridor face tree clearing, noise, and 110-foot structures near their properties if the project proceeds as proposed.
