Fermor Avenue Bridge over Seine River Rehabilitation and Roadworks The Fermor Avenue Bridge Project over Seine River Rehabilitation and Roadworks is a study the City of Winnipeg is undertaking. This study will assess the active transportation needs in the area and provide an appropriate connection of the Niakwa Trail to the north sidewalk of the Fermor Avenue Bridge. A grade-separated pedestrian crossing of Fermor Avenue will also be provided to link the Niakwa Trail to Niakwa Road, and extend a new active transportation facility south along Pebble Beach Road to Willowlake Crescent and the Southdale Community Centre.
For more information, visit City of Winnipeg – Fermor Avenue Bridge Study and stay tuned for project updates and information on in-person engagement events.

For more information, visit City of Winnipeg – Towards a Food Policy Council. Lyndale Drive Retaining Wall Study Update The study is now complete. After careful consideration of the public feedback, together with engineering requirements and financial considerations, a recommended design has been determined. The recommended design incorporates design elements from both Options 1 and 2 originally presented at the Open House held on May 12, 2016; requiring a 0.9 m northward shift in the alignment of Lyndale Drive (between Monck Avenue and Gauvin Street), while at the same time featuring a 2.6 m wide pedestrian sidewalk, and a 3.0 m wide gravel trail on the lower riverbank.
Detailed design will proceed through the Fall of 2016. Subject to Council approval of project funding, construction is anticipated to begin in December 2016 and proceed through to the summer of 2017. The project team thanks the community of Norwood and all the participants who provided valuable feedback during the study. A detailed summary of the public engagement process is available in the Public Engagement Report.
