There are still no decisions on whether some of Calgary’s existing contracts will be maintained for the winding down Green Line LRT project, after a meeting of provincial and city officials Friday.

Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Premier Danielle Smith and Transportation minister Devin Dreeshen held a meeting Friday morning with city and provincial officials in Red Deer during the Alberta Municipalities annual convention.

Global News has learned the meeting was to review the contracts as well as implications to the city if those deals were cancelled.

In a statement, Gondek described the meeting as “productive,” similar language as was used after a meeting held last week.

“In the interest of taxpayers, I’m focused on every way that wind-down of the original Green Line project can be carried out in a manner that retains the highest value and benefit for Calgarians,” she said.
