The date for Calgary City council to vote on the path of the Green Line project approaches. Business leaders raise their concerns about the path and the construction methods planned for the project. This is not the first time they propose alternatives to the current plans.

Business leaders again point out to their concerns for the economic impact of COVID-19 and the financial risks the project poses for the local economy. They want the project path changed, eliminating the part of the route as well as taking the line overground. In addition they want to the construction to be split into smaller chunks to make it more palatable for local construction companies. They are concerned that underground construction and other complex construction methods with a few large construction sites will on;y benefit the non-local large construction companies.

Green Line Committee chairman Councilor Shane Keating's reaction was kind but dismissive. While he appreciates the 'rational and reasonable ideas' he thinks that when they are scrutinized to details they will have more flaws than benefits compared to the current plans which he says are well investigated for.
