Those old historic buildings are what set Winnipeg apart from all other cities. Why would you want to replace say Winnipeg’s exchange district with skyscrapers which would create more of a dead zone like Portage and Main? A skyline does not make a city, Bay Street in Toronto is mostly a dead zone after 8 pm, it’s in its other districts with human scale development that thrive and create vibrant and diverse neighbourhoods. Besides that point, there is absolutely no reason for any building in downtown Winnipeg to be knocked down and replaced with another, there are more then enough empty lots to accommodate any scale of development. Oh and if you want skyscrapers move to T.O or New York, because you’ll never find them here.
