Green Line advocacy kept project from being scrapped

Posted on Past Campaigns & Victories by Melody Ho · August 12, 2024 10:09 PM

On October 10, 2024 Calgarians got the good news that the City of Calgary and the Province of Alberta have agreed to continue with some of the work on the Green Line, saving 700 jobs and salvaging nearly 2 Billion dollars of tax payer money from being wasted. 

We at the Alliance have heard that our efforts to keep the province engaged was key in moving them to collaborative action with the city. We are counting this as a win for civic engagement!

Re-Zoning for Housing passes!

Posted on Past Campaigns & Victories by Melody Ho · August 06, 2024 10:43 AM

We rallied on the steps of City Hall on April 22nd,  2024and urged members to write to their councilor in favor our rezoning or speak at the hearing, and then on Tuesday May 14 City Council passed the Rezoning for Housing bylaw by a vote of 9-6 after the longest public hearing in Calgary's history. Now single-family, duplex and rowhouses can be built city wide. This change cuts red tape in creating more housing supply which will positively impact affordability, and it creates positive housing density which is good for the environment!

In July of 2021, the Green Line LRT, as announced by Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is a go. A news release from the Government of Alberta the same day also confirmed that the province has reviewed the City of Calgary's business case for the Green Line - and approved it.

That means all three levels of government are onboard the Green Line and, in the fall of 2021, construction begins. Learn more here.
