The City Centre community committee held a regular meeting on Sept. 5.
The committee approved a land dedication reserve grant for $50,000 from the Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry ward for the Augustine Centre Inc.’s performance hall project, even though the public service recommended against approval.
Plans were approved for a 66-unit residential building at 51 Roslyn Rd.
The committee made a recommendation to the standing policy committee on public works that the public service report back on designating Strathcona Street from Portage Avenue to Wellington Avenue be designated a summer greenway route, and that the speed limit be reduced to 30 km/h during summer months, starting in spring of 2026.
The committee also made a motion calling on the standing policy committee on community services that the Winnipeg Public Library should report back on the Millenium Library and restoring Community Connections to the lobby space for the committee’s Oct. 27 meeting.
Following a public hearing, the committee approved a rezoning and variance application for 105 Clarke St. from medium to high density to allow for an additional two units to be added to an existing 22-unit multifamily building on site.
