In the weeks before his resignation, Logan was on leave from his job just as work was ramping up on the multibillion-dollar Green Line project. He received a payout of $471,596 upon his departure as part of a settlement reached between Logan and city management.

Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen maintained he didn't kill the Green Line by pulling the province's share of the funding for it about two weeks ago.

Those who organized the rally said the Green Line is an essential project, and political leaders need to find a solution in order to get the line built.

In response to Calgary city council’s 10-5 vote Tuesday to wind down work on the Green Line project, transportation minister Devin Dreeshen said the provincial government’s funding contribution for the multibillion-dollar transit initiative remains on the table — but only if the c ity opts to “change its mind and decide to build a Green Line that serves the needs of Calgary commuters.
