[1] In 2014, PSEG Long Island erected this power line to improve the efficiency and resiliency of the power grid in North Hempstead by taking load off of the lines coming from the Glenwood Generating Station in Glenwood Landing.
Going from west to east, the transmission line begins at the Great Neck Substation (3A), along the LIRR's Port Washington Branch.
[2] It then turns south onto Maple Street to its intersection with Northern Boulevard (New York State Route 25A).
[2] The project was met with considerable controversy by residents along the route, citing concerns over the aesthetics and the design of the line.
[1][3][4] When several locals requested for the remainder of the line to be buried, PSEG stated that they would be willing to do so if residents were willing to fund such a project.
