A wise perspective on the state of our City and Exchange District

@brent_bellamy Love this

Words about why I'm angry that @Mayor_Bowman and the @cityofwinnipeg council want to close my childhood public library, and why you should be, too.

@brent_bellamy Done and done 👍

As we were shown with the Portage + Main vote, Winnipegers should have a say in changes to public infrastructure. How about a plebiscite on each of these projects to see where we should spend?

@brent_bellamy Heritage status is essential to the Exchange, however a plan towards incentives for development and penalties, for lack of, on vacant buildings in our area will be crucial to future development. Too many owners allowed to hide behind heritage status so their buildings can rot.

[Brent Bellamy @brent_bellamy]

Last election @jbrowaty and others told us Portage+Main would somehow be made accessible without allowing people to cross the street. Not only has there been no progress towards that, for a month now, one crossing has been closed to anyone requiring a lift. This is unacceptable.

Gas leak in the only way to cross Winnipeg’s central intersection.

@policyfrog @Walter_E_Gaux @jbrowaty @brent_bellamy It's frustrating to see hard working people invest in the "Downtown Revitalization" to only get nailed with parking rates increases that give people no incentive to visit downtown. It's backwards thinking.

[Mike Del Buono @MikeDelB]

@policyfrog @Walter_E_Gaux @jbrowaty @brent_bellamy This would allow the city to bring in more revenue and be able to lower rates downtown. As well, a portion of parking rates raised could be redistributed to the Biz zones for improvements.

[Mike Del Buono @MikeDelB]

@policyfrog @Walter_E_Gaux @jbrowaty @brent_bellamy In any other major city there would be meters on Corydon, Osborne, Academy etc. To not only create turnover and higher traffic for businesses, but get rid of the negative perception people have of paying for parking downtown.

[Mike Del Buono @MikeDelB]

@policyfrog @Walter_E_Gaux @jbrowaty @brent_bellamy don't think the issue is so black and white of parking vs bike Lanes in The Exchange. I think there is a greater issue on lack of large scale vision to tackle the issue of Downtown being the only place in the entire city where there is paid street parking.

[Brent Bellamy @brent_bellamy]

IKEA’s parking lot is about the same size as the East Exchange District. Interesting that the perception is downtown parking needs to be directly in front of the destination. People will walk across mall parking lots, why not a city block?

[Mike Del Buono @MikeDelB]

@houghty241 On their way to @kingandbann I may add 😉

Urban planner friend from Halifax:
‘I’m sorry you didn’t get your pedestrian street’

Me:
‘It was actually just letting people cross the street’

Urban planner friend:
‘Wait....what?!’
