Transit advocates call for bus-only lanes on Centre Street during rush hour

With the Green Line in a continued state of limbo, Jeff Binks argued that reconfiguring Centre Street would reduce commuter congestion

Amid the Green Line LRT project’s uncertainty — particularly when it comes to the section north of the Bow River — a transit advocacy group is calling on the city to make Centre Street N. more bus-oriented.

LRT on the Green, which has lobbied for the multibillion-dollar CTrain project since 2014, said it wants the city to reconfigure the busy street by removing lane reversals and high-occupancy (carpool) lanes, in favour of dedicated bus lanes in both directions during the morning and afternoon rush hour.
