The new LRT (light rail transit) project is the largest infrastructure investment in our city's history. It comes with $5.5 billion in commitments from the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and The City of Calgary.
Green Line construction is underway, with major construction beginning in 2024.
We know large construction projects can be disruptive, and your feedback will help us plan with your needs in mind. Share your perspectives on the potential impacts that construction may have on you and your community.
On October 11, Green Line provided an update to City Council on the progress of the Development Phase, during which we advance the design and negotiate the project cost, schedule and risk.
Before construction begins, our Development Partner, BTC, will undertake additional due diligence work to test ground conditions through a series of geotechnical and environmental borehole drilling exercises.
Demolition of the Lilydale poultry factory has begun, which marks an exciting new phase for both Green Line and the community of Ramsay.
Phase 1 of the Green Line LRT will serve tens of thousands of Calgarians daily, connecting communities from the southeast to central Calgary.
Green Line is part of a long-term vision for our city. Phase 1 connects to the Red and Blue LRT lines, three MAX rapid bus routes and builds the foundation for extensions to the north and south, as funding is made available.
We would like to acknowledge that we are on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, made up of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskaapipiikani and Kainai First Nations; the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. The city of Calgary is also homeland to the historic Northwest Métis and to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6. We acknowledge all Indigenous people who have made Calgary their home.
