The Alberta government reiterated its plans Friday to move forward on a passenger rail system for the province, with a goal to finish its master plan by summer 2025. The province first announced its intention to work on a master plan for passenger rail around the province in April. "All of this can be achieved by advancing passenger rail in Alberta." Alberta's exploration of passenger rail comes as the province and City of Calgary work with infrastructure consulting firm AECOM to design a new downtown alignment for the proposed Green Line LRT. Any new transit developments such as the Green Line would need to leave room for future passenger rail, Smith said.
