Calgary Green Line Chooses Surface Route | Calgary News

Calgary’s city council has finally chosen the route for the Green Line LRT — a major win after years of debate. The selected at-grade path along 10th Avenue, ending in the Beltline between 1st and 2nd Street Southwest, avoids the steep cost of elevated tracks — which could have added $500M to $1B. With a decisive 12-1 vote, officials prioritize affordability and future flexibility, projecting 41,000 daily riders. The surface-level design also simplifies construction by connecting to existing transit infrastructure. While this move gets the project rolling after a decade, councillors still push for better bus service in northern Calgary.
