The City of Calgary develops the LRT network in response to the needs of a growing city. The West LRT is designed to serve communities in Southwest Calgary that are generally located west of the Centre City, between the Bow River and the Glenmore Reservoir. This area is expected to grow from its current population of more than 90,000 to approximately 120,000 in the next 20 years. As well, employment in this area is expected to increase from 18,000 currently to 23,000 in the next 20 years. The West LRT Line was first approved by Council in 1988 based on the study "West LRT Update Functional Study - Volume 3". In 2006, the Transportation Department conducted a review of the alignment to reflect current conditions and update costs. In November 2007, City Council approved funding to allow the West LRT project to proceed.
