The Government of Alberta has proposed a new elevated downtown alignment for the Green Line. The proposed elevated rail would travel east-west along 10th Ave and north-south along 2 St SW. It does not include an Eau Claire station, and involves an additional $1.3 billion in known costs. Click here for details about the proposed alignment and recent updates about the project.

After the holidays, don’t let those real Christmas trees go to waste.
Calgarians have two options to compost their real Christmas tree. For both options, all lights, ornaments, tinsel, string, and tree stands must be removed.
Option 1: Use your green cart –cut tree into small pieces to fit inside the green cart, making sure the lid can close.
Option 2: Bring to a tree drop-off location – available across the city from December 26, 2024, to January 31, 2025. Do not wrap or bag your tree. For a full list of locations visit calgary.ca/christmastree.
