Abstract

A new multi-use entertainment complex, the True North Centre, is currently under construction in downtown Winnipeg on the site of the former Eaton's building. Before construction of the complex could begin, a number of approvals were applied for and granted by the City of Winnipeg. Among the application supporting documents was a review of transportation issues related to the proposed facility. A common public perception was that there is insufficient parking and traffic capacity to support this type of facility in downtown Winnipeg. ND LEA examined traffic, parking, transit and pedestrian issues to report on the actual situation as opposed to the perceptions. This paper looks at specific issues that were evaluated for the True North Centre from the perspective of fitting a facility of this nature into a well-established downtown area.
