The head of Calgary’s troubled Green Line project is stepping down from his role.

Darshpreet Bhatti shared the news on Tuesday, but did not share any details about her upcoming role.

The City of Calgary is in the process of dissolving the project’s board of directors while awaiting advice from the provincial government on another route through the city center.

Bhatti assumed the role of CEO in 2021 after serving as vice-president of the Hurontario light rail project in Ontario.

He was also involved in the revitalization of Toronto’s waterfront, the City of Brampton’s AcceleRide project and the Waterloo Region rapid transit project.

When Bhatti took over as CEO, the Green Line board and the provincial government said they had reached an agreement to “provide greater cost certainty” to the project.

In September, the Smith government announced it was canceling funding for the Green Line due to concerns about escalating costs.

Without help from the province, the city decided to end the project, but negotiations reached an agreement to save the Green Line.

The province has ordered a review to find a less expensive way to do it.

A new city department has been given the reins of the Green Line while this third-party review is underway.
