Whereas Hydro One’s Chatham to Lakeshore preferred line cuts through 220 acres of prime employment land situated on the 401 interchange, restricting the use of this land and strongly interfering with the Community of Comber;
Whereas this engagement done by Hydro One in selecting their preferred route was insufficient;
Whereas hydro lines in close proximity to residential districts lowers property value and creates health concerns;
Whereas hydro lines seriously impede farm machinery from operating their GPS equipment;
Whereas the proposed 2A line chosen by Hydro One affects far more commercial and residential stakeholders than the existing line north of the 401;
Whereas Council of the Municipality of Lakeshore resolved November 9, 2021 by motion #381-11-2021 that they will only accept an alignment travelling west along the existing Hydro One corridor North of the 401 to the West side of the Rochester Townline Road. From here, travel south to the Substation
Therefore, be it resolved now that the Council of the Municipality of Lakeshore formally share Motion #381-11-2021 and request the support from the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
