Green Line Tunnel Option Back on Table

Calgary’s Green Line LRT is hitting a major pivot: after years of pushing an elevated route through downtown, city council has voted to explore tunneling instead — a costly but potentially more popular option. With over $6 billion on the line and public backlash against the elevated plan, the province may reopen its funding door if the city compromises. Construction on the southeast segment continues unabated, set to open by 2031, while the downtown alignment decision looms — expected by year’s end — to avoid clashes with future rail projects and win community approval.
