Protest WTP#4's proposed construction sites for transmission facilities on Old Lampasas Trail and Spicewood Springs Rd Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/protest-wtp4s-proposed-construction-sites-for-transmission-facilities-on-old-lampasas-trail-and-spicewood-springs-rd.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 4 Apr 2026 12:35 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr. Glenn McIntosh [Signature #528] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/9653787?utm_medium=rss I have commuted 11.5 miles to work along Spicewood Springs Rd. for more than 15 years now. If I believed there were no other alternatives, if the need for the water main was imperative, then I would be willing to put up with disruption of my commute, and perhaps feel that the benefits outweighed the risks. But I do not believe this. It is clear to me that there are other alternatives that for reasons I don't understand, are not being seriously pursued. Don't do this. The risks are too great.

It will have an unnacceptable impact on the historic riverside environment of Rotherhithe (where the Pilgrim Fathers first set sail to America) and the surrounding residential communities for at least 7 years. We believe that there are more suitable brownfield sites.

When approaching the work site from Spicewood, trucks must negotiate a K-turn or turn left from the right-turn only lane, further disrupting traffic and increasing noise. Noise will exceed 100 dB for 12+ hours/day, seven days/week. Add airborne debris from this MINING OPERATION and you've got unacceptable living conditions. Another route needs to be pursued!

Spicewood Springs Rd is my primary road for exiting the community; I expect there will be many delays in the flow of traffic with so many large trucks trying to enter and exit the road at an already busy intersection. In addition the constant flow of large trucks on the road changes the exterior atmosphere of Canyon Vista MS school and adds many more traffic dangers for the children and other pedestrians.

For years the City has told us how "environmentally sensitive" this area is. They won't even allow humans to walk on trails in the area (Forest Ridge, 3M) because they might "disturb the Golden Cheeked Warbler habitat" and now the City wants to dig and dynamite in same area? This is insanity.

As an attorney it's obvious to me they have to show they have at least considered some alternatives and compared the feasibility of each/all. If they haven't done that they may find themselves millions of dollars down the path when a court intervenes and compels them to do so. The consequences of lost funds, damages assessed for mismanagement, and loss of elected or appointed positions weigh heavily in favor of halting until this step is taken.
