Right now, the Green Line is scheduled to open in early 2026. It's possible that if we get the Olympics, they could accelerate that schedule (they could also push it back -- who knows?). That portion of the Green Line will run from Shepard (north of the shopping area north of 130th Ave -- north of Mckenzie Towne) into downtown (and up Centre Street to 16th Ave).

Even if it does get accelerated, you're still looking at 7 years at least before it's running.

There's also a lot of work scheduled in the coming years for the stretch of Crowchild from 17th Ave S up to the University, starting with bridge work on the Crowchild/Memorial/Bow Trail mess. If I had the choice, I'd want a commute that avoided going anywhere near that.
