Housing comes first — and that means every road, transit line, water main, and community space must be planned around where people live and work. Calgary is growing fast, but too often our infrastructure projects take too long, cause too much disruption, and miss opportunities to connect housing, jobs, and services. The Calgary Party will build a city that plans better, delivers faster, and keeps communities moving while we grow.

• Faster Timelines, Less Waiting
  • Set ambitious but realistic deadlines, rewarding early completion and penalizing delays.
  • Conduct external audits to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in approvals and procurement.
• Smarter Budgeting for Big Projects
  • Create a City-Wide Contingency Reserve to control costs and improve transparency.
  • Hold contractors accountable for staying on budget without inflating costs upfront.
• Building Housing-Centred Infrastructure
  • Plan transit, roads, water, and utilities together to avoid duplication and cut costs.
  • Prioritize projects that unlock housing supply and connect people to jobs and services.
• Reducing Disruption for Communities
  • Coordinate work so streets are only torn up once and projects move efficiently.
  • Set clear targets for noise, detours, and duration with strong community engagement.
