    No APS Power Line Maintenance for 30 Years

    Flagstaff, AZ (July 20, 2011) – Arizona Public Service will be conducting inspections on the 69 KV transmission power line from Sedona High School through the Village of Oak Creek starting Aug. 1.

    The Forest Service is giving APS permission to access the line off the main paved road and along their right of way from the Red Rock Loop Road to Verde Valley School Road. This will include locations on the southern portion of Old Post Trail (south of junction with Herkenham and Baldwin Trail south of the trailhead.

    APS staff will evaluate each power pole and its connections by climbing each pole or using bucket trucks. APS will work with the Forest Service staff to choose appropriate access points. Upon completion of inspection and repair work, APS will close access points by naturalizing and raking out vehicle tracks. Vegetation clearing activities will also be done this summer along this corridor and may aid in “naturalizing” any impacts of the vehicles.

    This power line serves approximately 731 customers on the north end and 1481 customers on the south end. This line was constructed in the early 1980’s and has not been maintained due to its difficult access.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
