Green Line advocates say they’re disappointed by a city report that hints the future LRT line would only reach as far north as 64th Avenue N. upon completion of the project’s second phase, leaving several communities in the cold.

An analysis of future Green Line staging options, scheduled to go before council’s transportation and transit committee Wednesday, outlines various possibilities for the direction of the project once its first stage is complete.

The first phase of the project — a $4.65-billion, 20-kilometre line — spans 14 stations from 16th Avenue N. in Crescent Heights to 126th Avenue S.E. in Shepard.

Construction of that portion of the line would begin as early as 2020, with the goal of completing it by 2026.

The blueprint for the line called for it to go as far north as 160th Avenue N. and south to Seton once completed in its entirety, but the next step depends on available funding.
