PNM is proposing a new substation on the Paseo del Norte frontage road near Fire Station 35, along with overhead 115 kV transmission lines that would run east on Paseo del Norte to Tramway Blvd, then south on Tramway to Academy. This route would place high-voltage lines close to homes, trails, and open space in Sandia Heights, when a better route exists down Eubank.
Background information, maps, and a sample protest letter can be found here: https://sandiahomeowners.org/stop-pnm-towers
