Rethink the Green Line
Join our community of concerned citizens and receive insider updates.
Calgarians are alarmed about the high-cost, high-risk Green Line proposal.
The project must address an uncertain economy, higher interest rates, downtown vacancies, and inflation.
Build a more affordable Green Line within budget, with far less risk.

It’s never too late to do the right thing!

Phase 1 is only 1/4 of the proposed line for double the cost
Increasing costs to build from Shepard to Eau Claire will jeopardize future construction. This means no extension to communities around Seton, even though more new riders are guaranteed. Commuters in the north could wait years before the LRT reaches them.
There’s a better way!

Experts advise cost overruns could mean 25% increases in property taxes. And, with falling ridership, taxpayers will pay $multi-millions in ongoing operations and maintenance costs.
