Hi,
For those at today's webinar, I looked up the East St. Paul motion regarding the pedestrian overpass of the perimeter highway that has been proposed for the Northeast Pioneer's Greenway Highway 59/Perimeter Highway Interchange project. Here it is.
Meeting – Province of Manitoba MIT – Interchange
WHEREAS THE Northeast Pioneer Greenway Active Transportation Path is located southwest of the proposed Province of Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation PTH 59N and PTH 101 interchange;
AND WHEREAS THE Province of Manitoba have announced in September, 2011 that their ultimate plan is to extend the Northeast Pioneer Greenway Active Transportation Path to Bird’s Hill Provincial Park by way of a safe pedestrian/cyclist crossing over the Perimeter Highway (PTH 101) from the Northeast Pioneers Greenway into Rural Municipality of East St. Paul;
AND WHEREAS THE Rural Municipality of East St. Paul has identified in a Transportation Master Plan prepared by Stantec Consulting Ltd. that the development of the Raleigh Gateway corridor as an arterial route is critical to the municipality’s transportation sustainability;
AND WHEREAS THE Transportation Master Plan includes a conceptual plan, as part of the Raleigh Gateway corridor, for a PTH 101 flyover to accommodate traffic traveling between East St. Paul and the City of Winnipeg;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Rural Municipality of East St. Paul request that the Province of Manitoba support a joint use structure and construct the bridge supports (base) of the proposed pedestrian/cyclist crossing to accommodate vehicular traffic for the future flyover.
It passed by a vote of 4-0 at the council meeting on Wednesday, May 2, 2012.
Cheers, Mark
