Calgary Reverses Transit-Zoning Push

Calgary’s transit corridors are hitting pause on density—with over 60,000 parcels within 600 meters of LRT and BRT stations being rezoned to lower-density use, just days before a sweeping citywide repeal takes effect. Mayor Farkas calls it a necessary band-aid removal to rebuild trust, but council members and advocates are split: some see it as a betrayal of transit-oriented growth, others see opportunity for community-led densification. With no replacement framework yet in place, the city turns to its long-term Calgary Plan for direction—but for now, transit neighbors are left wondering if the city’s housing and development strategy is heading backward.
