Again another Winnipeg downtown wishlist for 2008.

Either way, the city or province should just expropriate these problem areas and be done with it.

Wishlist ?

-More new residential construction downtown. Maybe a few mid to high rise proposals.
Get the ball rolling and the rest will follow.

Every economic reality started with a vision of what could be.

There is more vision here on this one page than all the elected people in this province.

So we wait.

1) The National Typewriter sign is removed from the building on Portage @ Sherbrook... It may cause someone to be interested in leasing it.

2) The old street-level signage is removed from the Avenue Building...including the cigarette smoking logo thingie coloured sign. Same result as above.

3) The water park is built in St. Boniface instead of Winnipeg.

4) Construction begins on Phase I of the Wilson subway.
