ST. BONIFACE

The City of Winnipeg is seeking input on active transportation connections between St. Boniface and downtown.

The project will build on the council-approved Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies. According to the city, it will explore “options to improve travel choices, accessibility, and connectivity between the Esplanade Riel footbridge/Provencher Bridge and the multi-use path on Archibald Street south of Nairn Avenue. The study will also include connections to the Southeast Corridor, Taché Promenade, and Notre Dame Street pedestrian bridge over the Seine River.”

Phase 1 of engagement resulted in a number of proposed designs, technical analysis and information. Feedback is sought on three possible routing options west of the Seine River, and one route east of the Seine River to connect to Archibald Street:

• West Option A: Provencher Boulevard (as a standalone route through the area);
• West Option B: A combination route that serves neighbourhoods both north and south of Provencher Boulevard with parallel routes on both avenue de la Cathédrale (south of Provencher Boulevard) and Notre Dame Street (north of Provencher Boulevard);
• West Option C: A combination route that serves neighbourhoods both north and south of Provencher with parallel routes on both avenue de la Cathédrale (south of Provencher) and Dumoulin Street (north of Provencher); and
• East recommended design: Nadeau Street/Notre Dame Street/La Fleche Street/La Verendrye Street to connect to Archibald Street.

Feedback is being collected through June 14. For more information or to provide feedback, visit winnipeg.ca/stbtodowntown
