Statement on the Province of Alberta’s Green Line proposal

City Council must prioritize what’s best for all Calgarians, and the revised Green Line plan warrants thoughtful evaluation and serious consideration.

The cost of tunnelling was always a huge financial concern with this project, but the move to above ground tracks and adjusting the route will significantly decrease overall costs by approximately $1.8 billion, allowing more people to be served. The elevated tracks already in place on the Blue Line through the Sunalta area seem to have been a good solution on that line.

While further clarity and analysis is needed on the long-term financial ramifications of the project, reliable transit access is essential for our growing city and its residents. This project has the potential to significantly improve connectivity, especially for those in SE Calgary.
