Calgary man’s home wrecked for ‘Green Line’
Patrick Lindsay watched as his home in the River Run townhome community of Eau Claire, Calgary, was torn down for a transit project.
“It’s just heart-wrenching,” says Lindsay. “I knew everyone in all the units. We will never have that again.”
The homes were being demolished for a Green Line LRT with a station at Eau Claire. But in the fall, Calgary City Council decided to cut back the project after the province pulled its $1.53 billion in funding.
A few weeks later, the province promised the money again, but the new plan now leaves out Eau Claire.
So where does that leave Lindsay and the others whose homes were wrecked?
