Capital Line - South

Where We Are

Update - June 2020

City Council voted in favour of a motion that makes the Capital Line South LRT extension from Century Park to Ellerslie Road the City’s next priority for LRT expansion.

The Governments of Canada and Alberta have committed $2.94 billion for LRT network expansion in Edmonton. A total of $2.25 billion has been approved for the Valley Line West and Metro Line extension projects, which leaves $690 million in available LRT infrastructure funding.

With Council’s endorsement of the extension, the City can move forward with discussions with our funding partners about the project.

Background

The City has completed preliminary design for Phase 1 (Century Park to Ellerslie Road) of the project and advanced the concept design for Phase 2 (Ellerslie Road to Allard/Desrochers).
