Demolition of Eau Claire Market begins for Green Line
BY The Canadian Press, Feb 5, 2025 9:51 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
An earlier version of the multibillion-dollar Green Line project was to tunnel under downtown to a station where Eau Claire Market had been.
Demolition has begun on a downtown Calgary shopping centre that was to be the site of a future light rail transit station.
An earlier version of the multibillion-dollar Green Line project was to tunnel under downtown to a station where Eau Claire Market had been. But the Alberta government said it would pull its funding under that configuration, and pushed for an elevated track through downtown that connects to the existing rail network.
The market, built in 1993 beside the Bow River, never quite lived up to its promise of becoming like Vancouver's Granville Island, and is to be removed despite the Green Line changes.
