key role in accommodating the City’s projected

City of Winnipeg planning documents

New Communities are to be designed to provide

opportunities for: mix of uses, different types of

housing options, parks and open spaces, and access to

public transit.

document that will guide land use development of this

neighbourhood. It requires the design of new

neighbourhoods to be done in a consultative process.
