Trail Talking

I’d like to begin by providing clarification on some of the information that was shared and to some of the questions that were brought up in last month’s Dawson Trail Dispatch article regarding the intersection of PTH 12 and PR 210 in Ste. Anne. Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure is currently considering various potential improvements for this location.

The functional design study will develop the official options for consideration. In the interim period, the short term safety measures that Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure has recently implemented include red flashing lights on the stop signs for PR 210 traffic approaching PTH 12, rumble strips along PR 210 as it approaches from both sides onto PTH 12, a “stop ahead” sign for the westbound direction on PR 210, stop lines at this intersection were refreshed and enhanced, and signs reducing the speed to 70 kilometres per hour were added for the eastbound direction on PR 210.

At the end of September, our Progressive Conservative government resumed legislative session. This session will focus on fixing Manitoba’s finances, improving services, and rebuilding the economy. I’m glad to be back in the House with my colleagues, as we discuss new ways in which to continue improving the lives of Manitobans.
