We are a close-knit community living next to Hwy 29 in Wisconsin, USA. Our peaceful neighborhood is home to 25 houses, each filled with families who cherish the tranquility and safety of our surroundings. However, this peace is under threat. The proposed rerouting of the Western Wisconsin Transmission Connection will cut right through our neighborhood, drastically altering our way of life.

Our homes are nestled behind a row of trees that serve as a buffer against noise pollution from the nearby highway. If this transmission line reroutes as planned, these trees will be cut down - leaving us exposed to increased noise levels. Disrupting the serene environment including Stillson Creek that runs into Beautiful Lake Wissota running right past our subdivision to the east that we have come to love.

Moreover, there's an eagles' nest less than 330 yards away from where these power lines would be installed if this plan proceeds. This majestic bird's habitat could be destroyed by such intrusive construction work.

Perhaps most concerning is the potential health risks associated with living so close to high-voltage power lines. Many studies suggest that prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can increase cancer risks (source: World Health Organization). In our community, we have vulnerable populations - small children and elderly residents - who could be disproportionately affected by such risks.

We urge you not only for ourselves but for all communities facing similar threats across Wisconsin and beyond – let’s keep transmission lines out of residential areas! Please sign this petition urging decision-makers at Western Wisconsin Transmission Connection to maintain their current route and protect our neighborhoods.
