Support $7 Billion in Public Value and Productive Investment in Calgary

image of Support $7 Billion in Public Value and Productive Investment in Calgary

The Greenline LRT project is an essential project for all Calgarians as we grow as a city. It is fiscally irresponsible to sacrifice up to $4 billion dollars of taxpayer money because our leaders cannot work together to find a solution. We must not turn away from over $3 billion dollars being invested in our City and province. I am writing to ask you and your government to exercise good governance to ensure that the Greenline gets built to serve the citizens of Calgary and Alberta. Specifically I am asking that:

The City and Province meet and work together until a solution is found.
The costs of this project and any changes to the project need to be shared equitably between levels of government.
Keep building what we can. No one disagrees about the engineering and construction of the Greenline up to the new Event Center. We need to keep building this. People need the Greenline to get to work and not just to a hockey game. So, while this first phase is being built, a plan needs to be worked out to build the additional phases that will serve downtown using the current money, along with future phases that serve the South Hospital and North Central Calgary, where the need is the greatest.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how you will exercise leadership on this critical issue.

We are calling on all levels of government to find a solution to make the Greenline work in a way that is fiscally responsible and exercises good governance and serves the citizens of Calgary and Alberta. Specifically we are asking:

The City and Province need to meet and work together to find a solution. Too much is at stake for false deadlines, ultimatums and reports that exclude all of the costs or all of the options. All levels of government need to work together and give each other the time and information they need to make the right decisions collaboratively. 
The costs of this project and the cost of changes to the project need to be shared equitably between levels of government. There is only one taxpayer that contributes to both municipal and provincial coffers. The province has the greater ability to raise revenue.Throwing away $7 billion of our money over accounting disputes should not be accepted by anyone. 
Keep building what we can. No one disagrees about the engineering and construction of the Greenline up to the new event center. We need to keep building this. But people need the Greenline to get to work and not just to a hockey game. So, while this first phase is being built, a plan needs to be worked out to build the additional phases that will serve downtown using the current money, along with future phases that serve the South Hospital and North Central Calgary, where the need is the greatest.

As leaders of civic organizations in Calgary that represent the people of Calgary we are calling on you to serve the people that elected you and build this project that is so critical for our shared future. If there is any way we can work with you to advance this project please reach out to us. We look forward to working together for the Common Good of all.
