Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week confirmed Canada's commitment to invest up to CA$1.53 billion to build the new Green Line as part of Calgary Transit's light-rail transit (LRT) system. The government of Alberta will issue CA$1.53 billion and the city of Calgary will provide CA$1.59 billion for the project. Considered the largest infrastructure project in the city's history, the Green Line will play a key role in shaping the future of Calgary by connecting people and places, reducing congestion and creating up to 20,000 jobs, Trudeau said in a news release.
