Early Works are preliminary projects undertaken prior to main construction. They pave the way for future Green Line transit infrastructure, help minimize project risks and create efficiencies for construction of Green Line tracks, stations, tunnels and bridges.
Construction is underway in the Downtown and Beltline to move underground utilities away from the future Green Line underground tunnel and stations.
Construction begins in summer 2023 to prepare for the Green Line in Ogden. A bridge structure and underpass will be built at 78 Avenue S.E. and a pedestrian tunnel will be constructed near 72 Avenue S.E.
Green Line has committed $50 million to improve Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along the Centre Street MAX Corridor.
These improvements will enhance transit amenities and connections in Calgary’s north central communities and support the future transition from BRT to LRT along the corridor. The corridor currently runs from Downtown along Centre Street up to Harvest Hills Boulevard N.E., and continues through to 160 Avenue N.E.
The first of the recommended short-term improvement projects was completed in 2022 with upgrades to the North Pointe Park and Ride Lot to enhance safety and accessibility.
Construction will continue starting in the summer of 2023 through 2024, with project areas located between 28 Avenue N.W. to Country Hills Boulevard N.E.
These improvements will:
We’ve removed about 660,000 cubic metres of waste from old landfills in Highfield and Ogden. Cleaning up these landfills opens the areas up to new land uses and potential redevelopment in the future.
Green Line will also be a platform for development and city shaping, creating spaces for people to gather, connect and enjoy what our city has to offer. We worked with Parks Foundation Calgary to build the Ramsay Inclusive Playground after removing an old one in Jeffries Park to accommodate the Green Line.
