## Resource

Calgary’s Green Line is facing a make-or-break decision as city council weighs three downtown transit options—two elevated and one surface-level—each with steep cost overruns except the surface route, which fits within budget. Advocates are split: some praise the cheaper surface option’s potential for smoother traffic flow if timed right, while others warn of safety and congestion risks. All options fall short on extending northward, sparking debate over whether to sacrifice future expansion for immediate progress—or risk further delays on a project stalled for years. Council must choose soon, balancing cost, disruption, and long-term vision. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
