A city committee discussed how to pay for the replacement of park and ride stalls and a new pedestrian bridge at Calgary’s busy Anderson CTrain station on Tuesday.

The priorities and finance committee pushed forward a recommendation from administration to pursue funding for the project through the city’s strategic plan for capital transportation infrastructure projects, rather than turn to the real estate reserve.

Exactly how much the project will cost was discussed behind closed doors. The matter will now go before council as a whole for a final decision.

“It’s very clear that it’s an investment that would have a very short payback period as Anderson station is redeveloped,” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi.

For years, Anderson station in Calgary’s southwest marked the end of the LRT line for the south leg of the CTrain. The popular station could undergo major changes as part of the proposed Anderson Transit Oriented Development project.
