Find your property using our interactive map! > How to use the interactive mapA • The route options in the map to the left have been refined using stakeholder input. • None of these options have been approved. • If approved, we will only build one line. • We will identify preferred and alternate route options, but we may include all the red and green route options to the left in our application. • The final route will be chosen by the Alberta Utilities Commission. |

Your input helped us refine the preliminary route options. Thank you for providing us with your valuable feedback. We used stakeholder input and the results from further studies and field work, including environmental evaluations, to refine the preliminary route options. Some of the information we received from stakeholders included:
• Locations of residences and other buildings that were previously unknown.
• Development plans.
• Irrigation systems.
• Oil and gas facilities.
• Other important land features.
In an effort to determine the route with the lowest overall impact, we have removed several route segments and added new segments for consideration. Please open the Removed routes document for descriptions and images of the removed route segments.
New potential route segments
In response to stakeholder input and further investigation we have added six new route segments. The segments include:
• An option west and south of the Town of Ponoka to avoid future expansion and development to the east of the town.
• An option west of Gleniffer Reservoir (Lake) that impacts fewer residences within 800 metres.
• An option southeast of the Town of Ponoka that impacts fewer residences within 150 metres.
• A crossing at the Red Deer River east of Red Deer to avoid a future country residential development.
• A crossing at Highway 2 northeast of the Town of Crossfield in an area with fewer landscape challenges.
• An option north and west of the Hamlet of Kathyrn to avoid future expansion and development.
