One of the things that really bothers me downtown is seeing garbage bins sitting wide open and trash on the sidewalks.

We’re fixing that.

New lockable bins are being installed along Main St & Portage Ave to help keep downtown cleaner. If they work as well as we expect, we’ll look to add more.

Think Winnipeg’s property taxes are high compared to other cities?

Here’s a surprise — they’re actually the lowest among major Canadian cities for a typical home.

I’ll be sharing more info about how Winnipeg stacks up ahead of the November 14 city budget.

A nice piece from Brent Bellamy capturing many of the big changes that have been happening in our city over the past several months.
My column today: From residential zoning policy to trees, transit, Portage and Main and others, the summer 2025 was a season of urbanist change in Winnipeg. Some with immediate impact, some with impact in the future, and some are still a work in progress. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
Opinion: 2025: a summer of interesting urban changes
Over the last few months, the city has been busy implementing several new progressive city-building initiatives to enhance livability in our communities.

Alexander Docks will become one of Winnipeg’s great riverfront parks — a place for everyone to gather, reflect and enjoy the water. The Forks has a strong record of developing and maintaining public spaces that are engaging and safe, and I’m confident they’ll do the same here.

We’re tackling the problems that have held our city back for decades, and Building Winnipeg for the generations ahead.

From transit and housing to Portage Place and the North End treatment plant, we’re making real progress. And we’re just getting started.
