The Canadian city of Calgary announced the recommendation for the first stage of Green Line LRT construction. Stage 1 of Green Line is recommended to extend from 16 Avenue N (Crescent Heights) to 126 Avenue S.E. (Shepard) and will be opened in 2026 with extensions added pending further funding.
The CAD 4.6 billion (EUR 3 billion) Stage 1 of the Green Line will carry upwards of 60,000 passengers across 20 km and 14 stations. It will connect the downtown core to major activity centres like Quarry Park and to more than 60 existing community services, including recreation centres, parks, and libraries.
“Building the core of the Green Line LRT is essential to supporting Calgary’s growth. We have a unique opportunity now to apply for a significant amount of funding. In building the most technically complex piece of the project first, we will be well positioned to expand the line in affordable, incremental pieces as more funding becomes available,” Mac Logan, General Manager of Transport for the City of Calgary said.
