STOP United Illuminating from Damaging our Towns!
As your constituent, I urge you to STOP United Illuminating's proposed overhead transmission lines in Bridgeport and Fairfield. Undergrounding the lines is the most sensible and responsible approach to boosting capacity. If allowed as designed, UI will seize property, impede business development, destroy the beauty of our towns and historic areas, damage the environment, and put the health of our youngest residents at risk.
Please urge United Illuminating to rework their plans to underground these lines. They must mitigate the adverse effects on our communities and become collaborative partners instead.
Thank you!
Undergrounding Should Be the Only Option for United Illuminating's Expansion!
As one of your constituents, I vehemently oppose the notion of a utility seizing property rights from Connecticut residents and inflicting severe damage on our communities when viable alternatives exist.
The planned United Illuminating transmission project cutting through Fairfield and Bridgeport is poised to take approximately 19 acres of permanent utility easements. This action will adversely affect homeowners, businesses and development prospects, leading to long-term economic harm.
In this day and age, it's regressive to upgrade transmission lines without having the lines go underground. In countries all over the world and in many parts of the US, particularly in densely populated areas like ours, the trend is towards undergrounding transmission lines. Why should Connecticut be an exception?
As your constituent, I implore you to support undergrounding transmission lines as part of our broader efforts to modernize the state's electric infrastructure and to protect the safety, beauty and integrity of our state.
Thank you!
UNDERGROUNDING SHOULD BE UNITIED ILLUMINATING'S ONLY OPTION FOR EXPANSION!
As one of your concerned constituents, I urge you to address United Illuminating's proposed overhead transmission lines in Bridgeport and Fairfield. If allowed to proceed unchanged, their plan will infringe upon significant private property rights, hinder business development, harm the environment, detract from the natural beauty of our towns and historic areas, and pose risks to the health of our children.
I implore you to utilize all available means to advocate for a reassessment of this plan, including the imperative consideration of undergrounding transmission lines. It is essential that United Illuminating takes immediate action to mitigate the anticipated negative impact on our communities. By urging them to revise their plans and implement measures to minimize potential harm, we can secure a brighter and more sustainable future for our community.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
URGENT: Compel United Illuminating to UNDERGROUND Transmission Lines!
As a concerned constituent, I urge you to intervene to stop United Illuminating's proposed capacity expansion in Bridgeport and Fairfield. Undergrounding the lines is imperative for our towns' well-being. Allowing UI's project to proceed as planned would unjustly seize valuable property rights, cause significant environmental harm, destroy scenic beauty and historic districts, and jeopardize the health of our youngest residents.
I implore you to exhaust all available avenues to compel United Illuminating to revise their plans to incorporate undergrounding. It is vital that they mitigate the adverse impacts of this expansion on myself and my fellow neighbors.
Thank you for your attention and efforts in addressing this pressing matter.
Please Urge United Illuminating to Underground Their Planned Transmission Lines
As a concerned CT citizen, I vehemently oppose the notion of a utility seizing property rights from Connecticut residents and causing harm to our communities when viable alternatives exist. The proposed United Illuminating transmission project through Bridgeport and Fairfield involves the seizure of approximately 19 acres of permanent utility easements, negatively affecting homeowners and stifling business and development prospects, resulting in long-term economic consequences.
In 2024, it's regressive to upgrade transmission lines without thoroughly considering undergrounding as a feasible option. Around the world, especially in densely populated areas like ours, the prevailing trend is toward undergrounding transmission lines. Why should Connecticut be an exception?
As your constituent, I implore you to support undergrounding transmission lines as part of our broader efforts to modernize the state's electric infrastructure and to protect the safety, beauty and integrity of our state.
End United Illuminating's Resistance to Undergrounding Transmission Lines!
As one of your constituents, I urge you to act swiftly against United Illuminating's proposed capacity expansion in Bridgeport and Fairfield. If approved, this plan will entail the seizure of private property, environmental damage, harm to historical resources, diminished aesthetic appeal, and risks to our children's health.
Undergrounding the transmission lines should be UI's proposal. I implore you to leverage your influence and apply maximum pressure on UI to reconsider and amend their plans. In the 21st century, forward-thinking communities opt for underground lines.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter!
