The Concerned Residents of Burlingame (CRB) are going to be installing banners up and down Trousdale Drive in opposition to the proposed routing of the Jefferson-Martin Power Lines down the center of Trousdale Drive. The first banner will be installed at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25th at 2100 Trousdale Drive.

There has been a lot of press concerning the proposed Jefferson-Martin Transmission Line Project. This is a project that will drastically change the lives of the residents along its route, and specifically those living along Trousdale Drive in Burlingame. We need to stand by them and show that we care about what happens in Burlingame.

The residents that live along Trousdale are looking for support in their fight against PG&E and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The proposed routing of the 230 Kilovolt (kV) lines underground down Trousdale Drive is one of the most contested issues facing the City in years.

The CPUC is going to have two meeting in December. One on December 8th at the San Mateo City Hall starting at 7:00 p.m., and one on December 9th at the San Bruno Recreation Center. Public comment will be taken at both of these meetings.
