Le Conseil municipal de Calgary a reporté une décision sur la zone tarifaire gratuite du centre-ville jusqu'à ce que la stratégie tarifaire mise à jour soit attendue au Comité des infrastructures et de l'urbanisme d'ici la fin du premier trimestre 2027. Le Conseil a également demandé au personnel de la ville d'engager les parties prenantes du centre-ville et de continuer à chercher un partenaire sponsor, avec un rapport d'avancement prévu pour le 9 septembre 2026. L'objectif de l'examen était d'évaluer la zone et les alternatives ; le Conseil n'a pas approuvé la recommandation de la supprimer le 1er août.
La décision n'approuve pas de nouvelles dépenses ni la suppression de la zone tarifaire gratuite.
