Winnipeg’s road construction season is underway.

The City of Winnipeg plans to work on more than 200 construction projects this year, with a $159-million budget to fix roads and active transportation routes.

The city will again devote revenue from two percentage points of this year’s property tax hike to road renewal, along with cash from an accelerated regional street-renewal program that includes funding from the federal and provincial governments.

The following major projects will be included:

• Broadway rehabilitation and addition of new trees and soil cells, eastbound between Osborne and Main streets
• Completion of Mountain Avenue, from Arlington and McPhillips streets
• Goulet Street, Youville Street to Braemar Avenue pavement renewal, streetscaping and landscaping
• Des Meurons Street, Goulet Street to Marion Street pavement renewal with streetscaping and landscaping
• Selkirk Avenue reconstruction, between Main and Salter streets
• Dakota Street rehabilitation, from St. Mary’s Road to Bishop Grandin Boulevard
• Active transportation connection from Northeast Pioneers Greenway to Archibald Street
• Archibald Street protected bike lane, between Doucet and Plinguet streets
• Wellington Avenue multi-use path, from the airport to Berry Street
• Goulet Street protected bike lane, between Youville and Traverse streets.
• Keewatin Street multi-use path, between Burrows and Gallagher avenues.
• St. Vital Bridge multi-use path connections
