Goalie Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 It would be a sweet spot for Said low income housing. I'd look at doing some in the downtown region off portage maybe near u of w or between there and polo since low income housing probably shouldn't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really necessary I believe the estimate to move the rail yards was in the billions... I'm not sure how many, but it would take a lot to make that move happen.

I'm not sure how many, but it would take a lot to make that move happen. Despite the cost it is the right answer. 3 or 4 Billion to move it now or 700 Million for Arlington Bridge and then 1.5B for Slaw Rebchuk and on and on in to the future. The possible economic boon from the area currently covered by the rail yard was estimated at 4 or 5 times the cost of moving it (if my memory is correct). How many housing units could be built on that land (after remediation) and the societal gains from removing the division between the North and the rest of the city would have a value as well, but I have no idea how to place an amount on it. We need to get past doing the cheapest right now and start doing the best for ever solution. Sard, Wideleft, bigg jay and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Or property tax the ship out of the rail yards to help build a new bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP Rail could fight that as predatory in the courts. We need to work with them to move those rail yards. 400 acres in the middle of city could create a lot more property tax revenue if it wasn't all industrial.

bustamente Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I find Winnipeg to be for the most part a very safe city, much like other cities they are circumstances that have manifested and left to fester in certain parts of the city and no one has any solutions to solve many of the cities problems .
