Out of town colleagues are here from London, ON, staying at the Fairmont. They crossed the street last night, and just figured that the barricades and covered signals meant general construction was going on. They felt safe crossing, so they did.
I will be crossing it every day enroute to and from work. I am curious to see how if effects my timing, rather than using the current methods to get from Portage to the East Exchange.

East Block Lofts residents will be happy they won't have to walk a block to cross the street lol

I know it’s just a basic crosswalk, but man, I’m really excited about the intersection opening up. It was such an embarrassment having the barricades up. One less thing to we have to explain to visitors.
Wasn't open yet on my my way to work. Must be happening soon as CBC was live on site at the South East corner. Dancing Gabe might be the first one to officially cross.
Someone mark my (unofficial) crossing time as 6:13
Mayor Scott Gillingham will do something Friday Winnipeggers haven’t been able to do legally in 46 years — walk across Portage and Main.
Gillingham, with Coun. Janice Lukes, chairwoman of the public works committee, and representatives from construction company MD Steele, will take the first steps following a brief ceremony planned for 10:30 a.m.
^ nope, not yet. I was just there and there are small barricades at the cross walk entrances at each corner and the pedestrian signs are still covered.
I had to double back and go my usual route.
I assume a 9am opening or something. Lots of people waiting around.
