Connecting Transcona to the Rest of the City
The Transcona Connectivity Improvements Project would use a mix of off street pathways and neighbourhood greenways to provide safe, direct, low stress connections between St. Boniface and Transcona, connecting the southern alignment option of the Eastern Rapid Transit Corridor pathways to the Transcona Trail and the Pandora Bike Path.
Pathways will mainly utilize unused City of Winnipeg right of ways, rail and hydro right of ways, park space, but some rights of way will need to be attained through property acquisition.
In addition to the connections noted above, the Transcona Connectivity Improvements Project would also provide access to shopping at Crossroads Station and Rougeau Plaza.
