To meet the current and projected wastewater needs, we have added 3.5 km of new sanitary pipe (Phase One) and will be adding another 600 m of sanitary pipe (Phase Two). This new trunk is critical to maintaining a high-level of sanitary service to Inglewood and surrounding communities.
In early December, City crews will begin setting up the construction area on the south side of the Bow River. They will be creating a safe, protected space so they can mobilize and start work quickly in the new year. We are confirming construction timelines for 2024 and will ensure this page is kept up-to-date.

Following the completion of the secant pile wall at the 78 Avenue project site, additional work will begin, including:
(1) The installation of a secant pile wall at the 72 Avenue site; and
(2) The installation of the CPKC tracks on the 78 Avenue diversion embankment.
As the GreenLine LRT begins to shift from planning to implementation, we are at a place where key challenges and opportunities associated with the current GreenLine station designs in Ward 9 need to be addressed. These challenges and opportunities are grounded in the perspective I have as a 10+ year advocate and champion of the GreenLine in my role as the area’s City Councillor, as well as my 20+ year role as an urban design professional working with East Calgary Communities towards the transit-oriented future we are now on the brink of achieving.

The 78 Avenue Project is a significant undertaking and will be completed prior to main Green Line construction in this location. The project will enhance mobility and pedestrian safety around the future Ogden station. The 78 Avenue Project includes 3 elements:
A vehicle tunnel through the embankment at 78 Avenue S.E.
A pedestrian tunnel through the embankment at 72 Avenue S.E.
Road upgrades for 78 Avenue S.E. and Ogden Dale Road S.E. Once complete, 69 Avenue S.E. will be permanently closed at the intersection with the CPKC tracks.
Although we were hopeful to finish construction on the Bridetland Active Modes Improvements this year, warm and dry weather is necessary in order to complete the remaining work. Due to inclement weather, construction timelines for this project have changed. The remainder of the work is now being scheduled to be completed in the 2024 construction season.
