Agenda – Assiniboia Community Committee – June 22, 2020
REPORTS
Item No. 7 Wellington Crescent Riverbank, Path, and Roadway Project
(Charleswood-Tuxedo-Westwood Ward)
Councillor Klein, Charleswood-Tuxedo-Westwood Ward has submitted the following motion to
the Assiniboia Community Committee for consideration:
WHEREAS The City of Winnipeg has confirmed their intentions of proceeding with the selected
Wellington Crescent Riverbank, Path, and Roadway Project;
AND WHEREAS hundreds of residents have contacted the office of Councillor Klein and
Councillor Orlikow to share their opposition with the City of Winnipeg’s current plan, some of
those emails being forwarded to Councillor Klein’s
AND WHEREAS hundreds of area and effected residents were denied participation in the
stakeholder meeting,
AND WHEREAS the City of Winnipeg previously suggested closing that portion of the road for
an enhanced pedestrian and cyclists’ path which is no longer an option due to a traffic study not
made available to the area Councillor or residents,
AND WHEREAS there are a number of residents that feel the City of Winnipeg is ignoring their
concerns, issues, and suggestions;
AND WHEREAS the City of Winnipeg has not confirmed if the traffic study considered traffic
volumes over a 10 year period from Wellington Crescent and Academy Road to Wellington
Crescent and Park Blvd. Which would be a nearly 5KM stretch of residential road with NO
traffic calming measures, a safety hazard for all residents;
AND WHEREAS the issue has been evident since 2011 when the bike path collapsed and Public
Works indicated there was no rush;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Standing Policy on Infrastructure Renewal and Public
Works be requested to direct the Public Service to pause the Wellington Crescent Riverbank,
Path, and Roadway Project and schedule more community meetings and consider more
economical and alternative solutions.
