In 1981, Calgary’s fi st LRT line was opened, revolutionizing transportation in our city. The system has since expanded to become the backbone of the regional transit network with 58 route-kilometres of track and 45 stations. Today, on the average weekday, over 320,000 passengers are carried on the existing LRT network, making it the most successful LRT system in North America.

The Green Line is the next LRT line to be built in Calgary.

In 2014 Calgary City Council committed $520 million to this project to start initial implementation of the Green Line. On July 24, 2015 the Government of made a historic funding commitment to the Green Line of up to $1.53 billion, contingent on matching provincial and municipal funds. The City of Calgary hopes to use this opportunity to partner with all levels of government and advance construction.

In December 2012, West LRT, Calgary’s largest ever infrastructure project was opened for service. The project was a catalyst to improve transit, pedestrian facilities, cycling infrastructure, traffic flow and enhance development opportunities across west Calgary. West LRT included 6 new CTrain stations, over 8 km of double track and 1,192 park and ride stalls. West LRT was 95% funded by the Government of Alberta through the Municipal Sustainability Initiative and GreenTRIP.

Calgarians respond positively to improved rapid transit options

Adding West LRT resulted in a large jumps in transit use for those communities in close proximity to the LRT line. In some cases upwards of 30% of residents now take transit to work (City-wide average is 18%). We expect to see similar results in the Southeast and North Central parts of the City with the completion of the Green Line LRT.

Starting Green Line LRT construction now makes sense. With over 35,000 daily riders on buses in the Centre Street corridor north of downtown today, a new line will be well used. A new transit facility will improve transportation for all Calgarians and Albertans using the adjacent North/South Trade Corridor.

Project Scope

The full build-out between North Pointe and Seton is estimated at $4 billion to $5 billion. This project cost estimate includes the following scope:

Land Infrastructure

• Acquisition of land, including along Centre • Train storage and maintenance facility Street • Tracks, power, communications and signaling • Integration with adjacent landowners and systems communities to enable transit-oriented • Stations, bus terminals and Park and Ride lots development • Bridges and structures

Contingency for the method of construction Vehicles within the downtown • New low-floor light rail ehicles

An Investment in the Green Line

The Federal Government has committed up to $1.53 billion in matching funding for the Green Line LRT and Calgary City Council has set aside $520 million over the next 10 years to leverage future provincial funds for the Green Line.

TT2015-0881, GREEN LINE FUNDING, STAGING AND DELIVERY/Att2.pdf Page 13 of 14 ISC: Unrestricted Investing in Calgary's Green Line LRT (Fall 2015)

Calgary can deliver

The City has a history of delivering big, complex projects on-time and on-budget delivery of our transportation projects. The West LRT project involved over $1 billion worth of construction activity within established communities and along busy roadways, and it entailed significant b ownfield remediation.

The City and its partners in industry delivered the West LRT through pre-design and a design-build contract between 2008 and 2012.

Calgary is committed

City Council and civic administration have been steadfast in their efforts to work towards the Green Line vision. The City has actioned LRT through a phased approach, beginning with introduction of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the corridor in 2004.

January 2014 Council committed to the Green Line project by approving a 10-year $520 million fund. The fund assists with construction loans and leveraging support of other levels of government.

February 2015 The Centre Street alignment was unanimously approved by City Council after The City conducted open houses and workshops and compiled the input of over 1,500 Calgarians between June 2013 and October 2014.

October 2015 The Southeast Transitway station refinements and d velopment opportunities will be presented to City Council. This milestone will be the culmination of significant public engagement, sta eholder meetings, and transit-oriented development planning conducted between January and September 2015.

End of 2016 Functional planning for the downtown and Centre Street North corridor, including land requirements for station areas, will be complete, and design can begin on the entire Green Line project.

2017 With the support of new Provincial funding and the recently announced $1.5 billion Federal funding, we hope to move forward designing and constructing LRT on the Green Line beginning in 2017.
