Green Line report released by province [Video]

After initially insisting its independent report on the new Green Line route needed to remain confidential, the province has made it public – with a lot of information missing.

The province said it wanted to give Calgary city council and the Green Line working group time to look over the information before making the report public.

Now it is public, though there is a lot redacted, including details on cost estimates and reasons why the route itself was chosen.

The Alberta government insists its elevated route through the Beltline and downtown would save money and cost $6.2 billion.

City officials say they’ve identified an additional $1.3 billion that is not included in this newly-released report.
