BURY RTRP
Time To ACT. Show up at City Hall
Feb 4 2025 6:15 Public Comment
Let your voice be heard at City Council this coming Tuesday February 4th in the City Council Chamber next to City Hall. It is NOT on the agenda, but — come and speak out during public comment at 6:15 pm. Fill out a speaker card when you arrive. Just showing up will flex our civic muscle.
You DO NOT NEED TO SPEAK to support those who will speak! Wear a white or teal shirt and let the City know that residents want to be protected!
Email all councilmembers NOW and include the mayor and clerk, asking the Clerk to make your comment Public Record; emails are below.
This project began over 18 years ago and our Council has refused to consider today’s current conditions. We need a new connection into our city, but if it is with transmission lines, they need to be buried underground. These transmission lines will be placed in a high-fire/high-wind corridor where SCE frequently shuts our power off.
Australia, Paradise, Maui, now the Eaton and Palisades fires. It’s not if, but when. This is an area where we have had many fires this past season…overhead lines are a DISASTER waiting to happen to Riverside!
Insure our future resiliency and maybe get affordable insurance for our homes. Bury the RTRP. Tell everyone. Spread the word. We deserve better from our public servants. Let them know. See you Tuesday.
