Southeast Medicine Hat

A preferred and alternate scenario has been determined for the southeast portion of the Project.

The preferred scenario maintains the current alignment and replaces the current poles with new wood poles in order to minimize changes to the overall community and make use of the city-owned right-of-way. The alternate scenario proposes an alignment along Highway 1, is adjacent to commercial and residential properties, and crosses privately held lands.

13 Avenue SE is a congested street with existing distribution lines, a roadway, and pipelines. While the preferred scenario avoids adding new infrastructure to this busy area, the alternate scenario would introduce a new alignment while keeping the distribution on the existing alignment.
