Pedestrian Bridge, Omand Park, Winter

We’ve developed a design together—now it’s time to talk about it.

The pedestrian bridge over Omand’s Creek need to be replaced. It is aging, floods often, and the paths are steep and hard to use.

After learning what’s important to the community and learning about the site, we came up with a proposed design. The new design raises the bridge to help prevent flooding. It also rebuilds the paths to make them safer and easier for people of all ages and abilities. The design still respects the park’s natural setting.

Now we want your input before we finalize the design.

Putting a new bridge back in the old spot wouldn’t be accessible or solve the flooding issues.  

We looked closely at the park environment and character to come up with the proposed design. Building the bridge slightly higher and closer to the Assiniboine River will greatly reduce flood and accessibly concerns.

The design includes: 

  • A higher, wider bridge with accessible paths to improve safety, access, and views of the river and creek. 
  • Gathering spaces with accessible seating and improved lighting to support learning, rest, river access and year-round use. 
  • Native plants, restored creek edges, and flood-resilient materials to protect waterways and wildlife
  • Cultural elements to reflect the history and character of the park.
