A updated proposal for rebuilding the transmission line between Red Deer and Joffre will be opened for public view and comments on Tuesday.

Officials from Calgary-based AltaLink have set up an open house to offer insight into their plans and to get further input from the public.

The proposal includes two options to be considered as AltaLink proceeds with the rebuild, which would start in February 2014 and wrap up at the end of that year, if approved.

Individual consultations with people who live on or own property along the route are scheduled during the rest of this year.

A plan is to be filed with the Alberta Utilities Commission early in 2013.

The open house is scheduled for the Bower-Kin Community Centre, at 85 Boyce St. in Red Deer, from 4 to 8 p.m.
