The idea of a coach to Calgary’s aircraft appears to be gaining gas. This year, Calgary Airport Rail Connection Study, which included the state’s recommended rail line path, was presented to city council on the Infrastructure and Planning Committee. The lecture even connected with the country’s suggested regional and high-speed bridge lines in the Deerfoot Trail passageway while also highlighting the importance of an east-west rail connection between Calgary International Airport, an expanded Blue Line LRT, and the future north leg of the Green Line.

The desired solution, based on findings from the 2020 Airport Transit Line Study, ensures the east-west connection is preserved, connecting the northeastern and north Calgary areas, where about 60 % of the need for air-port service was identified, according to the presentation. The Government of Alberta gave the City of Calgary$ 3 million to find the best way for a bridge line that runs between city and the airport in soon 2023. According to the lecture, type was gathered for the research from the Government of Alberta, City of Calgary, Canada Infrastructure Bank, Calgary Airport Authority, Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway and personal road designers. ” A connection to the airport is critical, so that’s why there’s so many of us interested in that, and that’s why we need to look at this very closely”. Ward 3 Coun. Jasmine Mian told reporters. ” Of all of our transit priorities, connecting to the airport is really top of the list for a lot of Calgarians “.It’s a sentiment shared by the Calgary Airport Authority, which said in a statement that it is “prepared for potential future rail expansion” to YYC. The Authority is “working with the City of Calgary, the Province of Alberta, and all other partners to improve connectivity across the city, province, and beyond for the benefit of the communities we serve,” according to the statement. The study identified the east leg of the line as a potential first phase, which would connect to the Blue Line LRT at a future station at 88th Avenue N. E.

Currently, the line ends at Saddletowne. The province allocated$ 43.3 million over three years to the expansion of the Blue Line, with city council also earmarking funds for design and field studies. The total cost to extend the Blue Line LRT is estimated at$ 160.6 million, according to the city. Mian noted there are many competing priorities with multiple rail projects proposed between Banff, Calgary, and Edmonton. ” It really is going to come down to which of these rail projects get funding, and how that proceeds”, Mian said. The provincial government will receive the final report of the study in the hopes of integrating with its developing Passenger Rail Master Plan before it is released to the public in the next few months. Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen said in a statement that Alberta’s government recognizes the value of passenger rail for the future of a province that is rapidly expanding. There is still uncertainty about when a project will begin, but there is a chance that everyone will show up on board soon.” Any decisions about passenger rail need to be carefully planned and in an integrated manner that makes the best use of tax dollars to provide a passenger rail system that serves Albertans,” says one planner. I don’t believe we should speculate as to when rail projects will be finished, Mian said. Let’s hope that it will occur sooner rather than later with a lot of political will.
