    What we heard

    What we heard in Phase 1 will help to outline the goals and actions that will become part of CentrePlan 2050. We are also looking at existing plans and strategies for our Downtown. Feedback from Phase 1 will also help inform:

    • Draft Downtown Urban Design Guidelines
    • A draft Streetscape Design Standards Manual
    • Options for key Downtown bike routes
    • Options for re-designing Graham Avenue

    Next steps

    In Phase 2, the project team will continue to work on CentrePlan 2050 with input from Downtown stakeholders. Feedback from Phase 2 will help to complete the draft of Centre 2050. In winter 2024, we will also get feedback from Winnipeggers on options for two Downtown bike routes.

    In Phase 3, a draft of CentrePlan 2050 will be shared for public feedback along with an explanation of how feedback was used to create the draft plan.
