MINISTER RELEASES SCOPING STUDY ON ALL-WEATHER ROAD ALONG EAST SIDE OF LAKE WINNIPEG
Manitoba Highways and Government Services Minister Steve Ashton has
released a provincial study on developing an all-weather road system
to improve access to remote communities along the east side of Lake
Winnipeg.
The study, entitled All Weather Road East Side of Lake Winnipeg
Justification and Scoping Study, covers an area that extends from the
vicinity of Manigotagan in the south to Oxford House in the north and
from Lake Winnipeg in the west to the Ontario border.
The province is now proposing to undertake jointly with the federal
government a road system planning and corridor study in conjunction
with the recently announced Lake Winnipeg east side wide area planning
process. This work would identify and select corridor options on a
network basis for detailed engineering and environmental analysis.

PROVINCE RELEASES FINDINGS ON NORTHERN TRANSPORTATION ACCESS
New Strategies to Address Remote Community Access Issues
New strategies to promote economic development and address the
unique transportation needs of several Northern Manitoba communities
were announced today by Transportation and Government Services
Minister Steve Ashton.
The strategies are the result of public consultations held in
Pikwitonei, Thicket Portage, Shamattawa, York Landing, Ilford and
Pukatawagan in 2001 as part of the province's Northern Development
Strategy. These consultations looked at affordable options for
improving access to northern and remote communities not accessible by
all-weather roads.
The short-term strategies reflect the individual transportation
needs of each community. They include upgrading existing winter and
forestry roads, exploring enhanced rail and ferry services,
constructing new roads and building permanent bridges at key river
crossings. A major recommendation resulting from the consultations was
to realign some winter roads in preparation for future all-weather
road construction.
