    WARDS BOUNDARIES COMMISSION - File GL – 5.1 Communication dated August 24, 2017, from Lisa Schreier ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2017 7:42 AM To: CLK‐CityClerks Subject: Winnipeg.ca : Comment Good morning! This note is to submit a comment about the reassessing of the City of Winnipeg Boundaries, which is heading for reassessment. My family lives in the Richmond Lakes area of Winnipeg, which is currently a part of the St. Norbert area. Living in this area is wonderful, a small little pocket of community, with parks, walking trails, and a short walk to the area of St. Norbert with the world‐class Farmers' Market, and much more. We love it here! Our current Councillor, Janice Lukes has been OUTSTANDING in putting some love and attention into our area, as we have always suffered from Perimeter‐itis (all projects seemed to happen within the city perimeter). Ms. Lukes has spent a lot of time and money in fixing up our areas. We are all grateful for the construction projects along Pembina Highway, an area that sadly has been over looked and neglected for years and is quite a depressing entrance to our City and should instead be celebrated as a HUGE starting point of one of the the longest roadway system (through to Mexico). Grandmont Park, our little treasure, is getting some love now ‐ upgraded walking paths, opened up parking lot and we are hoping for lights to be installed for the walkers and dog‐walkers' safety. And, what's important, is that Ms.

  • Developing a Container Freight Information System to Understand Container Truck Traffic in Inland Port Cities
    Developing a Container Freight Information System to Understand Container Truck Traffic in Inland Port Cities By Garreth Rempel, P.Eng. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Civil Engineering University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2011 by Garreth Rempel ABSTRACT Container freight is an important component of the transportation system yet there is little understanding about this issue. This research develops an information system to assist transportation engineers and planners understand container freight transportation in the Canadian Prairie Region. The research conducts a transportation systems analysis to provide information about regional transportation, demand, and flow characteristics of container freight. It also designs, develops, and applies a container truck model to provide information about urban container truck traffic activity. The analysis and model reveal issues that should be considered in defining, evaluating, and choosing among alternative options to improve urban container freight transportation. The transportation systems analysis reveals the following issues affecting regional container freight. The Panama Canal expansion has the capability of altering container freight using the mini land bridge between West and East coast ports although the Port of Prince Rupert is emerging as a legitimate option to the Panama Canal. Railroads are developing integrated logistics centres which often involve relocating intermodal terminals and introducing major container generators to a city. Railroads are operating longer container trains and making fewer stops at prairie cities; however, these cities are developing inland ports to attract international freight. This research produces the first urban container truck traffic model to help overcome insufficient data and information in this area.

    Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board 54th Annual Report For The Year Ended March 31, 2005 Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board 54th Annual Report For The Year Ended March 31, 2005 Our Water Resources: Clean, Reliable, and Renewable COVER Manitoba's prosperity and growth is, in many ways, linked to its ubiquitous rivers and lakes. Serving first as transportation and exploration routes, A peaceful prairie sky above Lake Winnipeg, the these same waterways became the source for the development of clean, 11th largest freshwater renewable, and affordable hydroelectric energy at the beginning of the lake in the world and an essential component of 20th century. Manitoba's hydroelectric system. Manitoba's power pioneers long ago recognized the hydroelectric Photo: Travel Manitoba potential of the province's abundant water resources. After the construction of generating stations on the Winnipeg River in the early part of the century, power planners turned their attention northward, to the Saskatchewan and Nelson rivers. With the technological advances made in high voltage direct current technology in the 1960s, development of the Nelson River became possible. Regulating Lake Winnipeg for hydroelectric purposes and flood protection was a key ingredient in the development of the Nelson River generating stations. In addition, the diversion of the Churchill River greatly enhanced the capability of the generating stations along the Nelson. Over a period of approximately 80 years, a total of 14 generating stations have been built on the Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, Nelson, and Laurie rivers, responsible for generating 98 per cent of the electrical energy in the province. Pointe du Bois, our oldest station, has a capability of 78 megawatts, while the most recent, Limestone, has a capability of 1 340 megawatts.
