I have some concerns and questions.
1. How much taxes are we collecting from this development, and will it pay for not just current servicing, but also replacement costs in 30-50 years?
2. Why are we building more low density development in 2021?

winnipegfreepress.com/local/1126m-pr… 3. Will this new community be a complete community? How will the schools, recreation, fire, libraries etc be paid for? Will ppl have to drive for decades before they're built?
4. How will ppl travel to and from this area? Are we going to add more drive alone trips?

I took a walk around Portage+Main today! I know lots of Winnipeggers experience it from their cars, so join me as I go on an adventure!

1st thing spotted while approaching on NW corner, full bike rack. 21% of 'peggers currently bike regularly. #portageandmain My quest: make it across the intersection to the BMO building! It's so pretty. I've lived here for 17 yrs, just realized I'd never actually been there. So, you know, there's a hint that something's not working.
Starting the clock! ⏱️
