Klumpenhouwer said that reverting to the lowest density land use around transit stations seemed like Calgary is taking steps backwards on housing. “This council and Mayor Farkas have talked a big game about wanting to focus on transit-oriented development, and this is doing the exact opposite”

“Repeal and replace” was a campaign commitment. Making housing more affordable was the goal. It’s time for Mayor Farkas to stand by that commitment, or admit it was never the plan at all.

Building a Bold
Future
We need to build a transit system that keeps up with Calgary. That means:
• Building the entire Green Line - from south to north including restoring the downtown tunnel
• Connecting our airport to rail.
• Expanding MAX routes across the city
• Investing in smart upgrades like signal priority and real-time info to make service faster and more reliable.BRIAN

A Transit System that Respects the Rider
Better transit doesn't always mean new routes

Safety by Design
Transit should feel safe, day or night - for every rider, every route.
• Increase peace officer presence, improve lighting, and install more CCTV and help posts to deter crime and respond faster.
• Support transit operators with safety measures and mental health resources.
• Tackle root issues by linking safety, housing, and public health strategies - because safety starts before someone boards a bus.BRIAN

Transit Easier
Let's make Calgary Transit easier, faster, and smarter for everyone.
• Boost frequency on LRT and MAX lines so riders never wait more than 10 minutes - 15 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Expand real-time tracking and alerts so riders can plan with confidence, even during delays.
• Upgrade signage and station maps so getting around is simple and intuitive.

High prices deter activity. A simple $9 congestion toll has caused New York traffic to drop considerably. The same thing holds true in housing construction. An alphabet soup of housing construction taxes, including GST, PST, LTT, CACs, DCs add 100K+ to the cost of a new home.
