Join us for a show of support for Calgary's Green Line as we call on our political leaders to find a solution to build the Greenline that serves the people of Calgary and does not waste the investments that citizens have already made in this project. 

When: Monday September 16. 2024 - noon (12:00pm)

Where: Calgary City Hall front steps, 800 Macleod Trail SE

We will gather at noon with a press conference at 12:15pm. We will have green scarves to visually unite us.

We are calling on our decision-makers to: 

1. Find a solution that builds as much of the Greenline as possible using the funds that have been committed and work already done by all levels of government. This includes going as far south as possible and meaningfully serving downtown and the Beltline. The Greenline must be built so that it can go North to meet the needs of citizens in North Central Calgary. 
2. Hold a public conversation that involves both provincial and municipal levels of government and presents the options that are available and how they address the interests of citizens (including passengers, businesses, taxpayers, and workers) and address issues impacting the Green Line (including cost, engineering challenges, property values, current contracts/procurement, timelines, and creating quality transit for Calgarians.) This public forum should include times for public questions to be addressed. A decision about a solution on how to proceed should be made based on the issues outlined and in the interests of citizens. 
3. Commit to developing a plan for the Greenline to serve North Central Calgary with LRT as an option, to go to the South Health Campus and serve the Beltline and downtown, and that all levels of government commit to work together to find the funds needed to enact this plan. 
4. Ensure that municipal and provincial oversight of this project is ongoing so that issues are addressed as they arise. The governance of this project needs to be as public as possible so that citizens can ensure that it is being done in their best interests.
