Both sites considered for locating the North Main Service Point are small, triangular-shaped landscaped parcels with roadways on two sides. Land uses along the routeof the 12.5 kV cable system that will connect the North Main Service Point with the Bow Lake Substation consist of roadrights-of-way, median strips, and a parking lot. Use of either site for the North Main Service Point will require an underground crossing of International Boulevard. Under the revised proposal, this would occur near the intersection with South 176thStreet. The revised proposal includes underground ductbanks to be installed between the North Main Service Point and Airport electric circuits. The land uses along this route are primarily Airport access roads and narrow planted median strips. During construction, traffic control measures will be taken to minimize impacts to the operation of the roads affected by the installation of the underground cables systems and ductbanks. All pavement and landscaping disturbed during construction will be restored following project construction. Aesthetics The proposed North Main Service Point will be identical to the facility previously proposed. It consists of a 25- foot by 60-foot by 15-foot tall concrete building enclosed by an 8-foot cyclone fence. At the new location, the facility will be visible from the sections of the Airport drives that access the garage from the south and from the northbounddrives that returnto the terminal. Construction of the revised proposal will involve temporarily disturbing landscaping along Airport roadways. All landscaping disturbed during construction will be replaced following project completion. Transportation Construction…
