City rescinds Balmoral Street property owner’s order to clean up encampment

The City of Winnipeg has rescinded an order that threatened to force a West Broadway landlord, Marvin Sharp, to clean up a large riverbank encampment on Balmoral Street. The city's decision to cancel the order comes after Sharp informed them of an existing easement on the property, a five-metre wide section that includes a bike path.

The city spokesperson stated that they have been communicating with Sharp throughout the process and have informed him of the cancellation. Sharp had been warned that the city could begin remediation as early as the following day, with an initial compliance payment of $205.00 + GST for one year.
