  • Green Line Update Stage 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Green Line Is Important to the Future of Calgary and Benefits All Calgarians
    Page 1 of 19 Item # 7.1 Green Line Report to ISC: UNRESTRICTED Green Line Committee GC2020-0583 2020 June 01 Green Line Update Stage 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Green Line is important to the future of Calgary and benefits all Calgarians. It represents a significant investment in our transportation network, in our communities, and the future of our city. In its entirety, Green Line will deliver high-quality transit service to Calgarians in north central and southeast communities, and strategically connect communities, employment hubs, and key destinations for Calgarians who live and work across the city. Green Line will not only provide more mobility choice for Calgarians and enhance future community building, moving forward with Green Line today will ready Calgary for tomorrow’s recovery. Green Line Stage 1 will be an important part of Calgary’s economic recovery. The Stage 1 investment will create an estimated 20,000 jobs and comes at a critical time when it is important to bolster Calgary’s economy. Green Line is also a long-term investment in the growth and development of our city, it will be part of Calgary’s global competitive advantage and will help attract new businesses and a young, talented workforce to our city. In July 2019, Administration advised Council of the need to re-evaluate the scope of Stage 1 to bring the Program’s cost estimates within budget, manage construction risk and improve the customer experience to best achieve the Green Line vision. Council directed Administration to undertake a review of the Stage 1 alignment and to complete a series of due diligence activities to confirm that Stage 1 has the right alignment, that Stage 1 is the right project for Calgary and that it will be delivered using the right approach.

  • Service Alerts – Digital Displays
    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

  • West LRT Project: Enabling Mobility and Transit Oriented Development
    TAC Sustainable Urban Transportation Award Submission by City of Calgary West LRT Project: Enabling Mobility and Transit Oriented Development INTRODUCTION The City of Calgary opened a new light rail transit (LRT) line in December 2012, marking a key milestone in sustainable transportation for Calgary that we can offer as a national case study. Calgary is recognized as an expansive and growing prairie city, but less well known are The City’s vision, plans and efforts in moving towards a more sustainable future. Sustainability principles and considerations are now embedded in all plans and investments. The City is making decisions and building infrastructure today that will affect citizens for the next 100 years or more. A case in point is the newest LRT line routing which will be highly influential to where and how people will live, work and move around the city. The West LRT Project is the largest capital project ever undertaken by The City, and it’s the sole new transit line developed in Calgary in over 20 years. Many aspects of the project are remarkable, both in terms of project approach (construction practices, stakeholder engagement, and project financing) and outcomes (expanded mobility choices, shifting urban form). The 8.2km long LRT line extension from downtown to the west serves several communities in Southwest Calgary and provides the most convenient access to the greatest number of people. The chosen alignment allows the shortest possible feeder bus trips for travel to and from the LRT stations for those people who are beyond walking distance. The new transit line enables mobility and mobility choice for the area’s current 105,000 residents, and for the rest of the city’s 1.2 million residents to access that area.
