I did some investigating. There is a 10" waterline that deadends at the SE corner that was installed in 1984 for the Perth's facility. It looks like they were abandoning the service. They just used shoring because they didn't want to risk having to replace the sidewalk. I have no idea about the construction otherwise.

I see two and maybe a third one just to the right of DCondo? |

I wish as part of this they would go in and just turn St Mary/Colony into a normal intersection.
Normally an island in the middle would be good for pedestrians, but instead this one is quite awkward to get across, and it also facilitates high speed for straight through westbound traffic. |
Hopefully they don't paint this thing grey to go along with Timbercreek's stupid (but so perfectly Timbercreek) conversion of Colony Square.
Hopefully it looks a little more lively than the render. I agree that the lack of windows is getting a bit ridiculous. |

I don't even know why Memorial needs to exist for traffic at all, let alone be 3 lanes each way. I know the city is removing one lane, but even still it's overkill. |

Not to mention Memorial is in embarrassingly horrendous shape and its lack of any design elements (ie: classier lighting, street furniture, etc) for its extremely prominent location is a real let down. The completed section of the ongoing renovation of Vimy Ridge Park should be the standard for Memorial!

^ Memorial is in downright embarrassing shape. I can't think of a street downtown that is in worse condition. Which is awful considering how prominent it is.

https://www.winnipeg.ca/publicworks/...l.stm#tab-maps I think I've said it on here many times but I'd just like to see the city/prov make Memorial bike & pedestrian only and completely redo Memorial Park and make it more useful. Memorial doesn't really need to exist – the only benefit of its existence right now is for SB left turns onto Broadway, as you can't on Osborne. But we could do some minor tweaks and just use York for that. |

Ah, cool. This still seems like a super short-sighted plan though. We should be having conversations about how to better use all that space before we spend all this money on remodelling the roads here. It's like how they completely redid Osborne (from the Bridge to St. Mary) the year before we really got going on bike lanes, and missed out on a huge opportunity.
