^ Excellent use for the vacated space.
If we want to go one step further and bring in the public sector, legal aid would do brisk business in this location as well. Centralize their downtown locations. |
I'm looking out my window and notice they have had an SUV parked with its lights on and orange cones laid out, at the SW corner. Anyone know whats going on? They were also a number of police vehicles on the street earlier. Maybe some type of move in festivities?

Apparently some type of crane on the street.

Winnipeg's next 'white elephant'?

Our mayor wants our input? |
^ Bowman should give us a list of options. Give us a list of the top 5 alternatives, present the costs and benefits of each.
Just asking what people want is pointless, unless you want to hear a bunch of people asking for a waterpark. |
There was a crane there about two weeks ago lifting stuff up on the roof. Maybe more stuff is being moved up there.

I here talk of a lovely green space where people can sit on a bench and enjoy all the Exchange has to offer, where the people of Winnipeg could congregate for public events, meeting the caveat of public use to a tee...and saving tax $$ on refurbishment/renovation of the existing building. Is the PSB's Brutalist architecture worth the tax $$ to save? The Urban Planner they interviewed had a very different idea. |

Within a few short steps of the PSB is Old Market Square, the Civic Centre plaza, the Steinkopf Gardens, the little plaza next to the Playhouse... am I missing any? How many plazas does this little corner of the Exchange District really need? It's not like we live in some oppressive urban jungle like Sao Paulo or Tokyo where we need to provide all these little places of respite to escape the endless concrete. Besides, you never see anyone using these squares for 2/3 of the year. |

Also not in favor of the renovation of this building. The parkade should come down tomorrow. Some may be in favor of preserving this structure for it's "architectural uniqueness", imho, I don't see it. |

If you are being brought in for questioning you go in through the lower level of the parkade off of William Ave. And I am not sure if its still done but at one time the CSI people use to process vehicles in a secure section of the underground parkade for fingerprints etc.

Its in the Dec 22 Free Press that barriers are required and the concrete "Jersey Barriers" being installed are just temporary until the sidewalks are repaired and a better looking system is installed .
|
^^ "Better looking barriers" is likely going to be highly subjective. I would expect the permanent look is similar to what happened on Graham by MTS Centre.

Oh that's right, the barriers. I would think they will be bollards, and not a continuous wall all the way down.
