Mayor Proposes Green Line Pause

Calgary’s mayor is proposing a bold pivot on the Green Line LRT: pause downtown construction and extend south first to buy time solving the contentious downtown route. With the province pushing an elevated track through the Beltline, business owners and residents are raising red flags — and city council is now weighing alternatives. Though the province won’t budge on ditching the tunnel (which was scrapped due to cost), the mayor’s idea of temporary bus links offers a stopgap. Construction continues southeast toward Shepard, with Seton a viable next step — but the real hurdle remains downtown, where years of study and sunk costs could now delay future northward expansions.
