Transmission corridor along the existing BFC.
Design of the sections of the corridor following the transmission
corridor should create pedestrian scale visual interest and include
mitigation measures to buffer views of the power poles and power line
and maintain the desirable views of the mountains to the south.
The recommended plan alignment also uses a small portion of the BFC
alignment between 99th Avenue and 115th Avenue and then again from
one half mile west of 115 th Avenue to just west of Dysart Road. The
existing BFC is an elevated, unimproved dirt lined ditch. It’s route is
adjacent to or within existing open agricultural lands and some rural
residences. There are currently planned residential developments along
the BFC from 91st Avenue to 115th Avenue. West of Dysart, the route
is also adjacent to the existing Sand and Gravel Pit to the north.
