Nick Christianson —Power Lines over Laguna Madre It was previously requested that a resolution be made from the City to keep Power Lines away from the Laguna Madre. There were 48 different possible routes. The reason given was they needed new lines in case current lines fail. They claimed the current lines were unable to be taken down for maintenance.
