Green Line LRT surface route through downtown Calgary finalized by city council
Original article ↗Key figures
In a 12-to-two vote, council chose the alignment that would see trains travel at street level down 10 Avenue S.W., with the line ending at a station between 1 and 2 Street S.W.
The other options included an elevated track above 10 Avenue S.W.
and that would turn north above 2 Street S.W.
and another elevated alignment above 1 Street S.E.; however, they were $1 billion and $500 million above the project’s budget, respectively.
“The ridership numbers are a little bit lower stopping on 10 Avenue than they would be going into downtown, but they’re a heck of a lot higher than where they’d be if we stopped at the Grand Central Station, which is where the current plan sits,” Ward 4 Coun.
