At least some SW Washington property owners can breathe a sigh of relief.
Bonneville Power says it’s eliminated one of the major routes it was looking at for a proposed 500 kilovolt power line in Clark and Cowlitz counties. The route includes segments 27, 31, 42 and 44.
In a press release, BPA says it was looking at these segments because they follow an existing right-of-way owned by Pacific Power. But the right-of-way wasn’t big enough for a 500 kilovolt power line and BPA decided making it wider wasn’t going to work out.
For others in the area, the waiting continues.
