From the Powerpoint Presentation for South PAT Meeting #3 on Sept 30, Slide #22: "The TEAMS will begin revising and eliminating routes."
IPCo did not list any specific "Engineering Constraints" until Nov. 3o, after 44 routes were drawn based on existing constraints at the time. It is not ethical to eliminate routes based on unknown constraints.
IPCo needs to read and FOLLOW its own process outlined in Meeting #3, or admit that Tuesday's Meeting #4 will simply be a rubber stamp process, without validity when it comes to community input.
