Background:
In recent years, the North East Exchange (see map below) has seen significant growth pressures, placing a greater demand on the area’s roadways, services, and pedestrian/cycling facilities. The City of Winnipeg recently retained MMM Group to conduct a study for the area that will provide the City with a blueprint for providing prioritized, coordinated infrastructure improvements (roads, sidewalks, bike paths, street furniture, underground services, landscaping, etc.) to the area over the next 10 years.
Objectives:
The objectives of the plan are to:
- Ensure the rights-of-way are compatible with the anticipated land use.
- Ensure all planned surface works are coordinated with planned underground improvements.
- Ensure the area is walkable and accessible.
- Provide recommendations to improve the ride-ability, drainage and condition of the pavement for the streets in the area.
- Ensure public transit amenities are accessible and available.
- Identify any improvements to bicycle parking or facilities.
- Ensure the design conforms to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles.
- Provide sustainable and practical solutions for new tree installations, street lighting and other amenities.
- Determine future loading needs and on street parking supply.
