The Green Line Light Rail Transit system will add 28 stations and 46 kilometres
of track to Calgary’s existing LRT system. The line will run from 16th Avenue north to
126 Avenue SE, with an underground tunnel for the downtown portion of the system.
The initial plans were for the Green Line to be constructed as a bus-only transitway
but was later converted to LRT as funding became available. With the selection of
Bow Transit Connectors (BTC), in 2023, the Development Phase, has begun, which
will allow for collaboration, design progression, and agreement on project costs,
risks, and overall schedule between Green Line and BTC, before signing a Project
Agreement. As part of negotiations, Green Line agreed to extend the Development
Phase from approximately 12 months to 16 months to allow for greater design
progression and cost certainty. The Implementation Phase remains on track to
begin in 2024.
