Yes, it's fair to say that West Broadway has improved fairly steadily over the last 25 years. But that's a different area than the West End, which is generally thought of as the area between Portage and Notre Dame. A fairly outsized amount of crime happens in the West End, particularly as you get closer to the western edges of the downtown area closer to Central Park.
It obviously doesn't help downtown Winnipeg given that so many social problems and so much crime happens to be concentrated on the area's western edges (West End) and northern edges (Centennial).
