Some on this list already know about the discussions regarding the new
high voltage power lines that are proposed for Dane County. For those
not aware, several state trails are possible corridors. Other possible
locations are along the Beltline, but through the Arboretum, and south
of Madison through rural areas.
If you are interested in learning more, there is an article in today's
State Journal that lists all the public meetings:

Also, here is the web page for American Transmission Company, the
company that will be putting in the power lines. The maps are a pain to
read, so not all that useful for figuring things out, but it gives you
an idea what the projects are about.

I got a notice of the May 23 & 25 meetings (not sure if because of my
elected position or as a Bike Fed employee.) Anyone can come to those
meetings, and they will be the first opportunity to see the proposed
routes. There will be more public open houses in June around Madison,
Fitchburg, Verona, Stoughton, and Oregon.
