the province is really touting their Rail Plan with the whole Green Line thing, I thought what they had put out was that they're doing a rail plan, not that they have one? Now we're hearing about a Grand Central Station.
From a CBC TV news story someone from the provincial government said:
We've actually been working closely with the green line board to make sure that (it aligns with) the master rail plan that the province just released not that long ago (we) made sure that (the master rail plan) ties into both Edmonton and Calgary's LRT systems... as well as (the province investing) over $300 million in the events center, (so) that (the events center) gets connected and that the blue line and the red line LRTs would get connected with this green line start. so all those conditions were met, so from a provincial standpoint it's great to see these trains being built, but obviously they have to be connected because like a nervous system, a rail line only works when it's connected, and we want to make sure that the province and our major cities were well aligned in rail projects going forward.
It is very interesting to me that the province is so publicly invested in rail. Hopefully it actually turns into something.
Saw this on Reddit:
There's definitely the opportunity for some kind of corridor in Alberta:
