Oct 22-23 -Community Meetings
Upgraded TEP Electric Substation at Vine and Chauncey
Do you live nearby? Join the discussion.
|
 |
|
|
138 KV Electric Substation proposed at Chauncey Lane and Vine |
TEP must determine a route for the Kino to DeMoss-Petrie (Kino-DMP) 138 kilovolt (kV) Transmission Line, which will connect the Kino Substation to the DeMoss-Petrie Substation.
The line also will interconnect with the planned UA North Substation, which TEP expects to build north of the University of Arizona's main campus, just west of Banner.
The current electric substation at Vine and Lee will be upgraded from a 47Kv station to a 138Kv (gas insulated) substation. Transmission poles will then extend north to the DeMoss-Petrie substation. Those poles are 60-75' in height and 6'-8' in diameter at the base.
Note the map which indicates the area to be covered by the UA enhanced substation. It will end at Chauncey Lane - one house south of Lester.

Neighborhood Little Free Library

Very special thanks to the neighbors who maintain the Little Free Library at Vine and Lester.
The bench needed a face lift - thank you Joanne. Sanded, bolts tightened and with a new urethane coat. It had been well used the last year, and is ready for another!
The book case needed a little caulking - thank you Mary. And Thank you Mary for stocking and restocking!
And Ken's wall is still a lovely blue back drop. There are even more colorful walls on the west side. Drop by and see it, take a book, leave a book.

These folks are in various states of health. Patients who are on foot are sometimes at risk, and are not good for Banner, nor for the neighborhood.
Call Banner Security 520-694-6533
