The CTF and Wise-Up Winnipeg have heard from over 100 Winnipeggers who received tickets at this location since the end of October. Each has questioned how they could be going 65-85 kilometres per hour after just having turned onto Grant Avenue westbound at Nathaniel Street.

Wise-Up Winnipeg will have a radar expert attest to the unreliability of mobile photo enforcement reflections at the time of trial of one of these many contested speeding tickets.
Taxpayers who have received tickets at the Grant and Nathaniel location are encouraged to contact either:
