850,000 people. 80,000 added in four years. Our fastest growth rate in over a century. People don't move to cities that are declining — they move to cities that are building.
This is just an intersection, but it’s also a step forward. After 46 years, Portage & Main is open to pedestrians again. Just one piece of the bigger work to build a better downtown.
Thank you again to everyone that attended the Winnipeg 150 Mayor’s Ball last weekend.
It was a fantastic evening celebrating our city’s major performing arts organizations.
Here's a sneak peek at the opening video for tonight's Mayor's Ball. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone later as we celebrate #Winnipeg150 and our incredible performing arts organizations! https://t.co/hezV42E5w3
Today, City Council passed a motion to open Portage and Main at grade for pedestrian crossings by the summer of 2025. This decision comes after careful consideration of the costs and construction timeline associated with repairing the waterproof membrane at the intersection.
