Northwest Winnipeg<\/p>\n

Various developments were approved, from new grocery stores to housing units, during the Lord Selkirk-West Kildonan community committee\u2019s regular meeting on June 2.<\/p>\n

Plans for a new mixed-used development at 1245 Court Ave., which includes 32-units and space for commercial businesses on the first floor, were approved. Anticipated businesses include a medical office, grocery store, and a caf\u00e9, according to the plan proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building looks good, and there was a lot of community consultation done early on,\u201d said Coun. Devi Sharma (Old Kildonan).<\/p>\n

Conceptual design for 1245 Court Ave. The building features 32-units and spaces for business. <\/p>\n

Along McPhillips Street, a plan to develop a 25-acre plot of land into commercial development featuring a new Sobeys and McDonald\u2019s, was approved by the committee. While there are other commercial spaces in the proposal, no other tenets have been confirmed or approved.<\/p>\n

The committee also recommended to standing policy committee on public works to build a new sidewalk along the east side of McPhillips by North Point Boulevard, before tenants move into the commercial development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s really important that when the first retail tenant move into that site\u2026 that we have a sidewalk,\u201d Sharma said. She added that funds are already available and she\u2019d like construction to be completed in 2027.<\/p>\n

Sharma also inquired about purchasing 40 hectares of land for a new regional park in northwest Winnipeg. The Lord Selkirk-West Kildonan committee are asking the standing policy committee on property and development to report back with a cost estimate in 180 days.<\/p>\n

Four public hearings were also held. The first application, with regard to amending and proposing by-laws related to secondary plans in the area to fast-track new housing developments in accordance with the Housing Accelerator Fund which is meant to accelerate housing construction and increase density, was approved. No one registered to speak in opposition.<\/p>\n

A subdivision and rezoning of nearly 55 acres in Highland Pointe for the development\u2019s sixth phase was approved, with nobody registered in opposition. Similarly, a rezoning and variance application for 229 Machray Ave., to allow for a residential multifamily building to replace an older, small apartment on the site, was also approved.<\/p>\n

In addition, Coun. Ross Eadie (Mynarski) proposed an honourary street naming in honour of Greg Pester, a local musician and owner of the Royal George Hotel. Council moved the proposal to the East Kildonan-Transcona community committee meeting to be held on June 22.<\/p>\n

The next Lord Selkirk \u2013 West Kildonan meeting will be held on June 23.<\/p>\n
