Purpose

Mission: 
To encourage and support transportation in our neighbourhood that is safe, healthy and efficient for our residents.
Priority Actions:

• To pursue effective enforcement of all noise by-laws and other relevant laws on all streets in our neighbourhood, includingPortage Avenue.
• To help ensure the safety of all residents, particularly children, as they move about in our neighbourhood.
• To encourage and facilitate healthy modes of transportation in all seasons of the year.
• To help ensure effective, connected routes for cyclists and pedestrians in our neigbourhood.
• To work to discourage the use of our neighbourhood streets as thoroughfares for motorists, particularly getting to and from theMaryland Bridge, and to and from Portage Avenue.

We are also involved in providing community input into the Wolseley to Downtown Bike Walk Project.   The City is currently undertaking the Wolseley to Downtown Walk Bike Project to identify options to improve travel choices, accessibility and connectivity. The study area runs east-west through Wolseley Avenue/Westminster Avenue, Balmoral Street, and Granite Way.   ​

Activities:

The Phase 3 recommended designs are now available at the City of Winnipeg Public Works site.
On January 29, from 6 p.m. to 8p.m., the City will host an Open House at Westminster United Church, 745 Westminster Ave. The recommended designs will be presented, and you will have the opportunity to speak with members of the design team.

The WRA hosted a very successful Town Hall on December 5th. The presentation was made by SafeSpeeds Winnipeg, advocating for reduced motor vehicle speed limits throughout the City. The efforts of that group will continue, and the WRA will keep Wolseley advised of the City Council's progress on this.
Thanks to the Old Grace Housing Co-op for making its common space available.
