Hopefully, you and your family have been enjoying the summer season and are creating special memories.
As your MLA, I have advocated on your behalf about concerns you have expressed to me during the building process of the West Calgary Ring Road (WCRR).
Post completion of this project, Calgary-West residents have raised concerns regarding the noise level from the road traffic on the West Calgary Ring Road. Through my advocacy with Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC), TEC has heard the constituents of Calgary-West’s concerns loud and clear regarding the noise level from the traffic on the WCRR.
I bring the following updates to your attention:
Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC) has engaged a consultant to commence design of a noise attention wall.
TEC intends to construct the noise attention wall; however, TEC is waiting for the details of the scope of the design, cost, and timeframe for completion.
Once the design of the noise attention wall is complete, TEC will prepare a budget request to Treasury Board and Finance (TBF) for approval. Without TBF’s approval, construction cannot proceed.
Minister Dreeshen’s office will continue to respond to concerned residents as they wait for the proposal/results. Contact 780-427 2080 or [email protected].
Phase 1 of the Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT)
After more than a decade of planning, a major milestone for public transit in Calgary was reached with the official groundbreaking for the SE Segment and kick-off for Phase 1 of the Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT).
This is Calgary’s largest-ever infrastructure investment, with $6.248 billion in funding from The City of Calgary, Government of Alberta, and Government of Canada.
