Extending past Stoney Trail SE, the Green Line LRT serves the rapidly growing communities in suburban southeast Calgary. This quadrant has seen the largest growth in the city in recent years and is anticipated to continue to grow.

Transit Connections

The three stations in this character area are transit hubs offering a number of transit options to connect Calgarians to where they want to go. Future east-west PTN service at McKenzie Towne differentiates this transit hub from the Prestwick and Auburn Bay/Mahogany Stations, where only a north-South PTN on 52 Street SE will be offered. Local routes will also connect adjacent communities to Green Line stations and other local destinations.

Active Mode Connections

The majority of stations in this character area are accessed by transit and the automobile. Improved connections are required for both pedestrians and cyclists and will involve adding sidewalks to areas where they do not exist. Leveraging existing connections in combination with a parallel pathway will provide a critical active modes spine which will support regional connections and provide access to community destinations.

Transit Oriented Development

The Green Line LRT is side running as it moves in to these planned communities which will contain town centres, horizontal mixed use and internal, connected street systems. The communities have been master planned to include future LRT stations and transit hubs with walkable mixed use communities. This suburban community has contemplated TOD since conception and have demonstrated through public feedback that they are ready to embrace an LRT in their communities.

City Shaping

City Shaping along Calgary’s southeast suburban corridor provides the opportunity to strengthen the sense of place for the residents of the communities along the line. The Green Line stations offer the opportunity to encourage social gathering through open space, community amenities and affordable housing near the station area.

At the southeast end of the Green Line LRT, the line will provide a much-needed transit service to access the new South Health Campus. Transit access to and from the South Health Campus will provide consistent ridership during off-peak hours, ensuring the service is well used throughout the day. This area has seen significant population growth and is expected to continue developing quickly. The communities south of 130 Avenue SE. have been planned and built in anticipation of LRT. They have dedicated lands for the right-of-way, station areas, Park and Rides, and higher development densities.

Transit Connections

Transit service in the new communities surrounding Hospital and Seton station will be designed to be direct and efficient due to the grid-like street network. Future transit service will connect to many destinations identified in the Rangeview Area Structure Plan and with a future PTN service connection between Hospital Station and Red Line. Regional communities southeast of Calgary will also have the opportunity to connect to Green Line at Hospital Station.

Active modes connections

The community around the southeast campus hospital was planned with the principles of good cycling and walking access in mind. The Area Structure Plans for these developments reflect complete street standards of The City. Access to the Hospital Campus, High School and recreation centre are all leveraged in both the suburban and more urban areas of the developments which will have a high standard for mobility of all modes.

Transit Oriented Development

The area of Seton and South Seton are part of the Southeast Area Policy Plan and Rangeview Area Structure Plan. Currently, this area is comprised of the new South Health Campus which employs 2,800 employees today. This area also consists of a big box store development. The proposed development, just south of the existing development, is envisioned as a mixed-use, mixed density development with main streets and grid like pattern that flows into the residential areas. This new development is planned to be multi-modal and has designed TOD around the future LRT stations.

City Shaping

The urban corridor of Calgary’s newest South Health Campus hospital and adjacent communities, provides the opportunity for residents along the Green Line to have affordable access to health and social services, a grocery store, library, recreation center and future high school site, all within a 10 minute walk. Identifying and building neighbourhood hubs by co-location public infrastructure will enhance and contribute to a sense of safety and resiliency for the residents of these communities.

HOSPITAL TO SE TON: URBAN CORRIDOR

Katie and Kris are young professionals

who live in the community of Seton.

Katie works at the South Health

Campus and Kris is a bylaw officer at

the Multi Services centre. They love

their new location, as their walk to

work, to the recreation centre and

grocery store are all within 10-15min.

Katie’s parents live in McKenzie Towne,

just two stops, which is convenient

for Sunday dinners. And, will be much

more convenient in the fall, as Katie

and Kris are expecting their first child.

Grandma and Grandpa will only be a

few stops away on the Green Line.
