Historically, Manitoba Transportation and Government Services (MTGS) has not had a formalized approach for the establishment of cooperative access management plans with local governments. The usual approach has been to undertake a functional design study to identify the future highway upgrading plans and associated long-range access requirements. During the development of the functional design, the local government would be consulted and upon its completion the local government would, by resolution, indicate their support of the plan. Unfortunately, new councils have not always felt obliged to support resolutions of a previous councils and MTGS has often found itself at odds with local governments despite documented local support for the functional design plan. For the Trans-Canada Highway between Winnipeg and Headingley, MTGS decided to try a new approach that would effectively integrate the transportation and land use planning processes.
