## Resource

Calgary’s Green Line LRT is heating up as the province pushes for an elevated downtown route, but city council is now exploring alternatives after strong pushback from businesses and residents worried about noise, vibration, and property values. Construction continues southeast, but downtown alignment options are being reconsidered — with the province open to tweaks despite its no-tunnel stance. A potential future airport-to-Banff rail line adds complexity. Over the next few months, the city will dig deeper into alternatives, aiming for a solution that balances ridership, community needs, and long-term transit vision.
