“The Green Line LRT is a generational investment that will create thousands of jobs, unlock new opportunities for housing and development, and shape Calgary’s growth for decades. This is how we build a resilient economy and a city that works for everyone. Calgarians have waited a long time for this moment, and today we deliver on our commitment,” stated Mayor Gondek.
The SE Segment, from Shepard in the southeast to the Event Centre/Grand Central Station in the Beltline, will build the first 16 kilometres of an overall 46-kilometre vision, before connecting with the future Downtown Segment and into the existing Red and Blue LRT Lines. Including the Downtown Segment, Phase 1 will build, 17.2 kilometres of twin-track LRT infrastructure, 12 new stations, a maintenance and storage facility, three Park and Ride lots, and 28 new modern low-floor light rail vehicles.
By building the foundation to facilitate future extensions further south and north, the Green Line will unlock much needed opportunities for housing and development and connect Calgary’s growing population with a fast, frequent, and reliable, high quality transit system.
