Greetings Ward 4!
Green Line’s stations are designed to promote accessible, safe, and secure transit use for all Calgarians.
Stations will feature plenty of signage, info displays, and wayfinding details to help riders navigate the area. A tactile strip will also inform visually impaired riders of the platform’s edge.
Station platforms will also be lower, meaning Calgarians will move through less ramps to reach a platform from street level. Our underground stations will feature convenient elevator access from ground level and will likewise take advantage of CCTV cameras and help phones to promote security.
Where possible, our stations will feature weather protection, including transparent and heated passenger shelters; well-lit, open spaces with plenty of CCTV cameras for added security; and help phones that offer immediate assistance.
Our new Urbos 100 Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) also makes use of accessibility- and safety-conscious low-floor technology. Lowered floors remove the need for steps during boarding and integrate more easily with existing city infrastructure and communities. As well, the LRV’s eight entrances dock level with station platforms, providing a safe, accessible, and convenient boarding experience for riders.
In addition, the Urbos offers three designated, roomy areas for people with mobility aids. Each of these designated areas is flanked by two entryways that allow immediate boarding and exiting for people with mobility aids. The Urbos also includes an easy to navigate, spacious interior with plenty of hand grips.
