Winnipeg Seeks Public Input on New Pedestrian Bridge Design in Park
The City of Winnipeg is inviting residents to share their thoughts on the proposed design for the Omand’s Creek Pedestrian Bridge, a new structure aimed at enhancing connectivity within a local park. The draft design, released on May 7, 2026, features a modern, accessible bridge that will span Omand’s Creek, providing a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists.
Bridge Design Highlights
The proposed bridge incorporates sustainable materials and lighting to ensure safety during evening hours. It is designed to blend with the natural surroundings while offering durable construction. Key features include wide pathways, viewing platforms, and integration with existing trails.
Public Consultation Process
Residents can review the design online and submit feedback through the city's website until June 7, 2026. Public open houses are also scheduled for May 15 and May 22 at the nearby community center. City officials emphasize that community input will guide final adjustments before construction begins later this year.
Project Background
The Omand’s Creek Pedestrian Bridge is part of a larger initiative to improve park infrastructure and promote active transportation. Funding comes from municipal budgets and provincial grants. The project is expected to be completed by spring 2027.
