Calgary Green Line Gets Final Approval | Calgary News

Calgary’s long-awaited Green Line LRT is finally moving forward—with a surface-level route approved by the executive committee, despite it not being the top choice. Priced at $6.25 billion, this option fits within budget and meets all requirements, while elevated alternatives were too costly for the city to bear. Advocates say the surface route improves accessibility and blends better with downtown, while some council members argue elevated tracks could harm businesses. New amendments focus on design and public space integration, plus plans are advancing for a northbound bus rapid transit connection. Though compromises were made, this marks a major milestone after 40 years of planning—and the full council will vote soon to finalize the path ahead.
