I oppose the proposed changes to the white stone bridge from dominion. That would be ridiculous looking!

I feel that Dominion should provide the same consideration regarding the proposed towers on the Rappahannock River Bridge that they have on all the other bridges in VA. Since no harm to water life has been proven, the installation of an under water system should not be an issue. Thank you.

Similar situation in southern MD. Ruined several historic communities. It is a very rural county and it looked so bizarre and out of place along main road.

In addition to this being just an awful eyesore on one of the most beautiful waterways of Virginia, I believe that there would be serious navigational marine hazards Please, please, please. Rethink this and bury the lines. Find another way.

Once they are up, they aren't going away. Beauty and recreation are a highlight of our calling card here in the NN- need to work this out another way.

This part of the river is one of the most beautiful views on the Rappahannock. The addition of these power lines would create navigational marine hazards and detract from the overview view of the area. People move to the area because of the view and lifestyle. I can't imagine any prudent person approving such a terrible addition to the Northern Neck area. The lines should be buried.

I believe that there would be potential navigational danger. The lines need to be buried.

No towers! They are ugly. I also disagree with the notion that they aren't a potential danger to navigation. I think they very well could be. Please spend the money and do it the right way, where they can't be seen. Thank you.

I am a builder in Richmond and Dominion forces me to bury all lines to any new developments. At a very expensive rate! Bury your own lines Dominion.

There are other ways to accomplish your goal. I am horrified at the prospect of these towers being built above ground.

Am opposed to construction of large new tower swhich will destroy the vista on the Rappahannock River, one of the beautiful natural wonders of the Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck.

Dominion has an opportunity to win back public support by doing the right thing! Place the line under the river bed or create a design that is aesthetically pleasing: With a little creativity, this project could have been an opportunity to gain back some public support:

Dominion Resources must not be allowed to put its corporate interests ahead of the natural beauty of this area.
