Residents living along coast say the power lines will ruin the view, cause noise, and devalue their property.
Wendy Cyr is with Save the West Side Coastline and she says a lot of people will be affected by project. She says these power lines will border their 60 homes on the west side directly and hundreds more indirectly.
The lines are being built in order to power the metal shredding facility being built at the port. The community group asking council for help in the matter but they refused to comment on the matter until it's determined who owns the land the lines are being built on: the city or NB Power.
