Fencing now surrounds a massive, water-filled hole that has sparked safety complaints alongside a popular city trail.
As the Free Press reported Wednesday, residents complained a roughly 75-centimetre-deep depression that stretches at least six metres has been open for weeks at the spot where the busy Sturgeon Creek active transportation route meets the path to a playground on Amarynth Crescent.
On Thursday, a City of Winnipeg spokesman Kalen Qually confirmed fencing now surrounds the site, which previously had small barricades at each of its ends.

The roughly 75-centimetre-deep depression, that stretches at least six metres, has now been fenced off.
“Snow fencing was put up to further block access to the site. There’s no timeline available (for a permanent repair) yet,” Qually wrote in an emailed statement.
Area residents and Coun. Shawn Dobson (St. James) had complained the initial barricades at each end of the gap still allowed access and potential injury, so it should be blocked off completely.
