Unscheduled
matter
Dominion Power has a proposal
to build a 7 to 9 mile long
new 230,000 volt double
circuit transmission line
called the Western
Chesterfield Project from the
Midlothian Substation off of
Dry Bridge Road and Route 60
to a substation on Duval Road
near the Richmond Zoo. Could
the Chesterfield Board of
Supervisors formally ask
Dominion Power to include
building a 10 foot wide paved
muti use trail along the whole
7 to 9 mile easement with
pedestrian bridges over the
major roads along it. And than
vdot could take over ownership
of it. In that the power line
runs though Chesterfield
County's fastest growing area.
Also the proposed Duval Sub
Station is with in less than a
half a mile of the former
Tidewater and Western Railroad
bed in the Chesterfield Mega
Site. Which would have to
major trails in this area.
