If you have driven along Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard near Highway 47 /Saint Francis Boulevard recently, you may have noticed several <br />power line structures being erected. The City has experienced an increase in the number of <br />inquiries about this project since a number of the transmission line poles have been set along <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard. <br />In 2012, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved a 115 -kV transmission line through the <br />cities of Ramsey, Anoka, and Coon Rapids to connect two existing sub - stations in order to increase <br />capacity and reliability. Following easement acquisition, Great River Energy began initial <br />construction in 2013. <br />For more information on the project, please visit www.cityoframsey /GRE. The webpage includes <br />a link to Great River Energy's project page that includes more detailed information. Feel free to <br />direct questions my way for follow up. <br />Below: a sample photo of a recently installed transmission line pole. <br />
