PGE cannot provide definitive information about how the addition of 115 kV transmission lines may impact property values as part of this upgrade to the existing 7.4 miles of distribution power lines along SW Stafford Road. The vast majority of poles are within the public right of way and will generally remain within five feet of their current locations. The transmission wires will appear fine and dull, helping them to blend into the background. Some poles will remain wood, and some will be upgraded from wood to either galvanized or weathering steel, typically in areas where the line has more curves. PGE’s team will always work with landowners to find a suitable replacement for any impacted trees, shrubs and plans, as we try to restore the property to its original condition or better.
