Lawrence city commissioners approved on first reading a power line siting ordinance to regulate high voltage lines and move a 115000-volt line away from Pinckney neighborhood homes after a year of complaints from residents who feared health risks lower property values and loss of neighborhood character. The measure follows KPLs plan to upgrade a 69000-volt line on Fifth Street with input mechanisms to determine process rather than a final decision.
