Calgary's Green Line LRT Project Revived with Alberta's $1.53B Recommitment

The province and city have agreed to advance work on the Green Line from Fourth Street S.E. to Shepard, preserving jobs and focusing on design revisions.

The Alberta government has recommitted $1.53 billion to Calgary's Green Line LRT project, reversing a previous decision to withdraw funding.
The agreement focuses on advancing the section of the Green Line from Fourth Street S.E. to Shepard, aiming to preserve over 700 jobs.
City council had initially voted to wind down the project due to funding issues, which would have incurred significant costs.
Consulting firm AECOM is tasked with developing a revised alignment for the downtown section, avoiding underground routes.
Further federal approval is needed for the new design, and significant construction could begin by early 2025.
