The Green Line Program is vital to the future of Calgary and benefits all Calgarians, enabling The City to achieve significant economic, social and environmental rewards. The Green Line is designed to be both a transit system and a platform for long- term city building opportunities, spurring redevelopment and investment opportunities in Calgary businesses and communities. It will provide efficient service and connections to destinations throughout the city, including opening new areas where people can live affordably with access to amenities, services and sustainable mobility options. The full Green Line alignment is 46 kilometres and runs from 160 Avenue N. to Seton in the southeast. This line will almost double the City’s existing LRT network. A project of this size cannot be built all at once. The Green Line will be delivered in stages as funding becomes available. Stage 1 of construction will extend 16 Avenue N. to 126 Avenue S.E. and is expected to be constructed from 2021-2027 and estimated to cost $4.9 billion. The Green Line Stage 1 will be constructed in three different segments: • Segment 1: Ramsay/Inglewood to Shepard (126 Avenue S.E.) • Segment 2A: 2 Street S.W. to 4 Street S.E. • Segment 2B: 16 Ave N. to 2 Street S.W. “High quality transit, like LRT, is a necessity for cities to grow, be attractive to entrepreneurs and a talented workforce, and to be competitive economic centres locally and internationally. Green Line is planned for long-term city shaping and spurring redevelopment and investment opportunities in Calgary and will be an important part of the city’s recovery generating 20,000 jobs.” Michael Thompson, GM Green Line City of Calgary: Senior Interface Manager, Green Line Page | 2 Construction of Stage 1 is a pivotal first step in achieving Green Line’s vision.
