Investing More in Calgary...
June 01, 2009
On January 27th, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty introduced Budget 2009 - Canada’s Economic Action Plan, a bold agenda to protect Canadians from the immediate economic threat while helping to establish the conditions needed to secure long term growth and prosperity.
 
Recently the Government of Canada announced two significant investments in Calgary’s infrastructure that will be funded as a direct result of the Economic Action Plan. These investments provide both an immediate economic boost and long-term sustainability, for a greener, more efficient infrastructure system in Calgary.
 
$90 million for Calgary transit…

 
The Government of Canada is setting aside up to $90 million to support a number of transit improvements identified as priorities in the City of Calgary. These include:

  • 7th Avenue Rehabilitation - Four Car Stations and Trackwork
  • Four-Car Light Rail Transit Station Platforms
  • West Light Rail Transit 11th Street Station
  • Southeast Bus Rapid Transit “Park n Ride” Lots
  • Upgrade Light Rail Transit Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Security System
  • Calgary Transit Advanced Passenger Information System
  • Light Rail Transit Traction Power Upgrades

$100 million for the Calgary Ring Road…

The Calgary Ring Road is a major commuter and transport thoroughfare designed to reduce congestion and improve road safety. Extending the Calgary Ring Road creates jobs, while reducing strain on our city’s road and transit system for years to come.
 
Investment in public infrastructure like Calgary’s Ring Road and public transit system stimulates our economy, relieves traffic congestion and will help our community prosper now and in the future. It also creates a lasting legacy that will improve our city for many years to come.

These two projects are concrete examples of federal leadership and Canada’s Economic Action Plan at work.
