Tell Winnipeg City Council to STOP the Widening and Grade Separation(Marion/Archibald), and save Happyland Park!
We urge Winnipeg City Council to stop the Marion Widening and Grade Separation in its current state of design, part of Plan Winnipeg since 2001, and identified as a short term priority in the Winnipeg Transportation Master Plan.
The current plan has too many flaws and too much information was not disclosed to the residents by Public Works or MMM Consulting Group; information such as how the Public Market Brownfield development will tie into this design. Also failed to be disclosed was the basic consideration that was given in the design to ensure enough room for the future Southeast Bus Rapid Transit Corridor.
The community does not feel that the guidelines for IAP2 (http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.iap2.org/resource/res...) were met, and that attempts to satisfy this requirement were minimal at best. "Affected Residents" should have included people affected by; loss or limited access to an area, loss of amenities, loss of jobs and loss of rental space residential and business.
This project has more then doubled in size and in original cost projections. The project in its current state risks damage to Happyland Park, loss of homes for residents and hundreds of lost jobs in local businesses!
We request this project be stopped!

Happyland Park was first opened on June 2, 1933 and was known as "Kiwanis Happyland Park" http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/kiwanishappyland.s...

Nous encourageons fortement le conseil municipal de Winnipeg d’arrêter l'élargissement de la rue Marion et l'aménagement d'un carrefour à niveaux différents, inscrit dans le Plan Winnipeg depuis 2001 et identifié comme une priorité à court terme dans le Plan directeur des transports de Winnipeg.
Le plan actuel a de nombreux défauts et trop d’information n’a pas été divulgué aux résidents par Travaux publics ou MMM Group Consulting. Ils ont manqué d’informer les résident que le développement du public Brownfield sera lié à cette conception et en outre, il ont omis le fait qu’on a assuré assez de place dans l'étude de base pour le futur Corridor Sud-Est du Bus Rapid Transit.
La communauté ne croit pas que les lignes directrices du IAP2 (http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.iap2.org/resource/res...) ont été satisfaites et que les efforts de répondre à ces exigences étaient minimes, au mieux. "Résidents affectés" devraient comprendre des gens affectés par les suivants; une perte de ou un accès limité à une zone, la perte d'agréments, la perte d'emplois et la perte de la location d'espace résidentiel et d’affaires.
Ce projet a plus que doublé de taille ainsi qu’en coût projeté initialement. Le projet actuel risque d'endommager Happyland Park, de perdre des maisons de résidents et causer la perte des centaines d'emplois dans les entreprises locales!
Nous demandons que ce projet soit arrêté!

Seeing the momentum grow despite the wall of silence from the city is honestly exhausting but it proves we are not alone in this fight. This support gives me the energy to keep pushing for the future of Happyland Park.

Back in the 1970's, the city was advised against building on the east side because of lack of infrastructure. Now they want to tear up homes, businesses and recreational facilities so people in Sage Creek can get home faster. Move the overpass to Dugald Road. Thanks for listening.
i taught grade 7 Science at a school nearby and loved bringing my classes to the park to help teachy lessons. Please keep the park
STOP destroying established neighborhood, businesses and private properties. STOP spending millions of City taxpayers dollars to improve/make faster connection for people living out of City limits who don't pay taxes.
Leave the area alone us ppl living here are ok with it. Already took park on Holden so our 5-10 year olds have to walk from lagimodiere and Marion to Archibald and Marion to play now and the city has no money to give us a park after taking it so leave the rapid transit and other plans for somewhere else
we chose this neighborhood for its unique qualities,location and wildlife, this project ruins them all, from a concrete wall at the end of our street to destroying wetland habitat in our front yards, those who cannot speak for themselves will be most disturbed...the wild life along the seine river corridor
Please save this amazing recreational resource in our community
The current Marion widening project is a short sighted, single-occupant focused plan that does not consider the Our Winnipeg or the needs of residents in the Dufresne community. This plan should be stopped.

A simple train overpass will do the job to adjust / free the traffic flow. What you are planning is OVERKILL and OVERSPENDING. My future (assets and retirement potential) and my family home will be effected. This will sink me financially; the housing market and my buying has changed since buying this home. Please don't mess with my future!!!
