City Hall in brief
Winnipeg Transit is considering purchasing electric buses for a pilot project, despite city council's directive to stick with diesel models from 2027. The proposal aims to buy up to seven 20-foot-long buses for on-request trips, which could benefit 4,000 riders weekly. On-request buses are smaller, cheaper, and could reduce street damage and noise.
City council approved a $40-million bridge renovation in 2024, with a staff report seeking permission to award a $12-million contract for repairs. The Arlington Bridge, demolished in 2023, will be replaced with a new bridge by 2030.
