If you want to prop up the inner city area you need to attack it on multiple fronts:

1. Get North Kildonan/Transcona to be pushing inwards on Elmwood/East K to pull that area up.

2. Along those same lines get Amber Trails and Riverbend to push inwards on West K/Garden City/Maples/Brooklands/etc.

3. Get the downtown condos to put pressure on the Central Park and West End.

If we work on building up the outer areas people are okay being in and getting them to put inward pressure on the more inner and less desirable neighbourhoods. Once you get the area around Selkirk and Arlington to the point it is an up and coming neighbourhood we are at the point to start the discussion on the Weston Yards development.

The other big challenge being faced is the strongest Conservative support lies just outside the Winnipeg boundaries yet the city needs strong provincial support to limit growth in the neighbouring RMs if there is to be any real hope of slowing the outward sprawl.
