In 2013 Ottawa began building its LRT network. By 2027, they will have built 64 km of LRT including a tunneled portion through their downtown. From end to end #greenlineyyc is only 46 km. Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social wants #yyc to be the city that builds. Will #yyccc rise to the challenge?
Today is the final day of online engagement for the #greenlineyyc downtown elevated alignment. Take a few minutes to answer the survey questions & help shape how the largest infrastructure project in Alberta's history impacts our downtown.

Calgarians have been consistent over a decade of #greenlineyyc engagement that they want a tunneled track through downtown. The Alberta government says that's not an option. Sadly, building a train to nowhere that ends in Victoria Park can't be an option either
calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...
Construction is underway on the SE segment of #greenlineyyc, the largest infrastructure project in Alberta's history. Watch to learn the history of the project, where it's at now & where it's going. Also don't forget engagement on the downtown segment is happening now.

Tonight is the first opportunity Calgarians will have to share their opinions on the #greenlineyyc elevated alignment through downtown #yyc.
The online engagement session runs from 6:00pm-7:30pm.
Register now to make sure your voice is heard!

Last night, Sonya Sharp said she doesn't support either proposed #greenlineyyc downtown alignment & instead wants a SE LRT to nowhere that even the UCP has rejected. Calgarians deserve to know if this is now the official Communties First party position.

Is building #greenlineyyc an important #yycvote topic for you? Do you care whether the next stage of construction helps expand the line into north #yyc or doubles down on the southeast? Do you have strong opinions on how the train gets through downtown? Here's what the mayoral candidates said:
All six leading candidates for mayor support the visions that Calgary should build Green Line as a light rail train line from Keystone in the north to Swton km the southeast via downtown.
Jeff Davison, Sarah Elder, Jeromy Farkas and Sonya Sharp support either an elevated or tunneled downtown alignment, depending on cost. Jyoti Gondek and Brian Thiessen support a tunnel only.
Sarah Elder, Jeromy Farkas and Brian Thiessen believe the next stage of Green Line should be built from 7th Ave downtown to communities north of the Bow River. Jyoti Gondek and Jeff Davison support building 7th Ave to Eau Claire. Sonya Sharp supports building from Shepard Station to communities in the south east.
All six mayoral candiates commit to voting yes in support of a $14 million funding increase to Calgary Transit in budget 2026.
Still undecided on your #yycvote for mayor? Want something to talk about at the Thanksgiving table? We're happy to report strong support from candidates on the #greenlineyyc vision & increasing funding to transit in Budget 2026. There's differing opinions on downtown & Stage 2:
Pleased to see #greenlineyyc, regional rail & active transportation modes feature prominently in the @calgarychamber.bsky.social election platform. Calgarians needs to elect candidates who will use their time on #yyccc to ensure Green Line is built north AND south & downtown is built right.
Highly recommend you read @everydaytourist.bsky.social’s assessment of North Central Calgary! We cannot continue to wait for #GreenLineYYC, it’ll take decades, we need investment in a PROPER BRT up Centre Street to see this area of our city flourish! #yyc #yyccc

We were in Country Hills and hearing questions about the old "Future LRT Park'n'Ride" site on 96th Ave and Harvest Hills Blvd. With rumblings that this land-use will change, I think we need this land for the future Green Line / Airport Connector hub. #GreenLineYYC #YuleLoveWard3 #yyc #VoteYYC #yyccc
The north leg of the Green Line is officially off the table, and Ward 3 is being left behind.
North central Calgary is experiencing a transit crisis: packed buses, long wait times, and skyrocketing ridership with no plan to meet the demand.
Let's change that. #YuleLoveWard3 #GreenLineYYC #yyc
The brand new Eau Claire Plaza has everything from a performance stage to green space and a misting feature. What’s missing? The Green Line station.
#GreenLineYYC #YYCCC #YYC #EauClaire
Today is a over a decade in the making. It's very exciting #greenlineyyc will finally go from a line on a map to track in the ground. The first kilometer was always going to be the hardest one. Now we've started to build, we shouldn't stop until all 44km are built
calgary.citynews.ca/2025/06/25/c...
Today, as shovels hit the ground in the South, for a #GreenLineYYC my Ward 3 will never see in our lifetime, I ask you to read my op ed again. Currently we have no plan for the overloaded buses in the North, and we need to take action! #yyc #YuleLoveWard3 #yyccc

This'll be a great addition to #yyc. Unfortunately it'll have a big, empty lot sitting next to it as the fate of #greenlineyyc north of 7 Ave remains in limbo. Whether elevated or tunneled, a design plan for Eau Claire station & Bow River Bridge needs to be finished

Door Knocking in Coventry Hills tonight. Missing Infrastructure was the main concern tonight. Green Line and a Nose Creek Regional Park were big discussion topics on the doors!
Also had a very friendly cat join us. #YuleLoveWard3 #YuleLoveYYC #GreenLineYYC #SaveNoseCreek #Ward3yyc #yyc #VoteYYC
With the Blue Line Extension engagement starting they are reporting that RouteAhead identified #BlueLineEXT as a priority… let’s remember it had a benefit score of 71/100 in RouteAhead. Green Line North Leg extension was 99/100 and is now abandoned. #CentralLineYYC #GreenLineYYC #yyc #yyccc
It's election season. In the past 2 days, over $2.5 Billion in new transit funding has been announced across the country. Opponents love to say #greenlineyyc will never be built beyond the Stage 1 plan, however the money's out there. We just need to actually start building something first
North Central Calgary has a new ‘unfortunate’ monument… and I’m going to tell you all about it. #GreenLineYYC #NorthernHillsPost #yyc

🗑️TAKE ACTION: Tell Danielle Smith to ditch her Trump sympathizer transportation minister waging economic war on Calgary's downtown Green Line, businesses and taxpayers.

End Game level shenanigans this week for #GreenLineYYC. North-Leg was snapped away. City takes on all the risk and cost overruns to an alignment they’ve already rejected. #CancelGreenLine

#GreenLineYYC #yyccc #BillionairesFirstyyc
With the #GreenLineYYC South Only leg topping out at $6-7 Billion… and the estimates for BRT from Seton to Keystone being just over $1 Billion it’s safe to say we’ve been hosed Calgary. #CancelGreenLine #MAXGreenYYC #yyccc
In this “Trump-Like” take it or leave it negotiation between the Province and the City, I say “Leave It.” Shelve the LRT with purpose and bring back BRT. A #MAXGreenYYC BRT corridor from Seton to Keystone Hills will serve the most Calgarians. #CancelGreenLine #GreenLineYYC #YYCCC #yyc
Interested to see what #yyccc decide tomorrow. Don’t abandon us Northies. #GreenLineYYC @gondek2025.bsky.social @sonyasharpyyc.bsky.social @jasminemian.bsky.social @cwalcottyyc.bsky.social @kourtpenner.bsky.social @epspencer.bsky.social
Did Minister Dreeshen & the Alberta UCP really decide to blow up a $7 billion infrastructure project based on a 2 page document pitched by a third party group? No wonder they don't want to stand behind their #greenlineyyc plan & cost share the risk. What a farce.
