The City has begun a traffic study to evaluate the feasibility of closing parts of Wellington Crescent to vehicles. A partial closure was identified at the stakeholder meeting and discussed at the adjacent property owner meeting in spring 2019. A partial closure may eliminate the need relocate significant sections of Wellington Crescent, reduce riverbank stabilization costs, reduce traffic volumes and noise along the route, reduce tree removal, and provide enhanced cycling and pedestrian opportunities along the riverbank. Impacts to current and future road users, local residents, Assiniboine Park, and other users will need to be evaluated. Additional public engagement opportunities will occur after the traffic study is complete.
