Using the Transportation Utility Corridor (TUC) for the proposed transmission line is not a priority for the project team. We are evaluating all potential route options to identify the one with the least overall impact. Alberta Infrastructure outlines the purpose and different uses of TUCs including high standard Ring Road systems, major power lines, pipelines, and linear municipal utilities. For more information on TUCs, visit the Government of Alberta Infrastructure website http://www.infrastructure.alberta.ca/518.html.
