Winnipeg, MB - The public is invited to attend an open house to view proposed designs for the next phase of improvements in the North East Exchange District. The City will present concept designs for Lily Street and parts of John Hirsch Place for tentative construction in 2016, and parts of Pacific Avenue for tentative construction in advance of the 2017 Canada Games. Those in attendance will have an opportunity to provide input to project team members.
Highlights of the projects include:
- Renewing infrastructure.
- Embracing historical components into the design.
- Integrating art into the design of the streets.
- Widening and lining sidewalks with trees and enhanced lighting.
- Utilizing innovative and sustainable drainage designs.
This proposed work originated from the 2014 North East Exchange District Study, and follows the first successful construction phase in 2014 and 2015. The purpose of these collaborative efforts is to provide public rights-of-way that support this evolving and vibrant area.
