  • River Road to Rivergate Drive Study Recommendations
    MORE PEOPLE BIKING MORE OFTEN River Road to Rivergate Drive Study Recommendations Given the poor lack of north/south connectivity between River Road and the Henteleff Park/South St. Vital Trail corridor, a pathway along the Red River connecting the Minnetonka and Normand Park neigbourhoods would be a positive addition to Winnipeg’s bicycle network. Ultimately, we feel that this pathway could be extended south to Maple Grove Park. Of course, any investment in a pathway connection along the Red River will need to maximize connections to the local and regional bicycle network, and to neighbourhood, community, and regional destinations. We feel that the benefits of this project would be greatly increased by improving walking and cycling connections to St. Amant Centre, Minnetonka School and Park, Greendell Park Community Centre, and Darwin School & Park. Ideally, the planned pathway would also provide a spur giving access across St. Mary’s Road into Dakota Park and the River Park South neighbouhood, but given potential rights of way and their distance from existing traffic signals on St. Mary’s Road, this may not be achievable. Without a signalized crossing of St. Mary’s Road and access through the Okolita Park development into Dakota Park, we feel that the missing connections to St. Amant Cenre, Minnetonka School and Park, and Greendell Park Community Centre should take priority over any connection to St. Mary’s Road.

  • Eastern Parks
    Eastern Parks Nopiming Provincial Park Introduction With an area of 1,429 km2, Nopiming Provincial Park is characterized by rock outcrops, lakes and rivers of the Canadian Shield dominated by jack pine, and scattered marshes; black spruce/tamarack bogs are common. Classified as a Natural Park, its purpose is to preserve areas that are representative of the Lac Seul Upland portion of the Precambrian Boreal Forest Natural Region; and accommodate a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses. The park will: Preserve areas of woodland caribou habitat; Provide nature-oriented recreational opportunities such as canoeing, hiking and Native bead work on buckskin clothing mountain biking in a largely undisturbed environment; Provide high quality cottaging, camping, boating and fishing opportunities, and accommodate related facilities and services; Promote public appreciation and understanding of Nopiming's natural and cultural heritage; and Accommodate commercial resource uses such as forestry and mining where such activities do not compromise other park purposes. Nopiming is an Anishinabe (Saulteaux, Ojibwe) word meaning "entrance to the wilderness." The park is about 200 km north east of Winnipeg. Manigotagan River Park Reserve consists of 250-m wide strips of land by Turtle Lake, and along the north and south shores of the river to PTH 304. Woodland caribou antler and track The Land Rock is a prominent feature of Nopiming Provincial Park, frequently appearing as hills and ridges, as outcrops in the middle of a forest, and as shoreline cliffs spotted with orange and black lichens. Where the rock is not visible, it is only a short distance beneath the surface.
