Hello All!*

twitter facebook instagram youtube 
A short newsletter on the many projects and issues I’m working on to improve quality of life for residents of Waverley West and all Winnipeggers. It’s great to have opportunities to meet with constituents again - in person - now that the vaccine uptake continues to increase. Winter has arrived, drive with caution, and as always, if you have questions or concerns, please contact me: JLukes@winnipeg.ca

Waverley West is Growing

We are seeing so many new apartments being constructed along Pembina Highway and alongside the new rapid transit corridor, and many more are being proposed. Many of you have asked why all this construction is occurring; here is a brief overview: See Waverley West Is Growing Fast

Update on Illegal Rooming Houses

Years of work combatting illegal rooming houses is finally taking a turn for the better. The 2021 Annual Report identifying calls for service related to illegal rooming houses shows a downward trend in the neighbourhoods around the University of Manitoba. I do believe we will continue to see a downward trend. See 2021 Update on Illegal Rooming Houses

Traffic Lights Coming to McGillivray Blvd

It's been confirmed that two sets of traffic lights will be installed on McGillivray Boulevard next year! This is such a wonderful news for so many people! These lights will not only make McGillivray safer but will also trigger the City to start formalizing plans for a pedestrian crossing near Front Street. See TWO SETS OF LIGHTS – McGILLIVRAY BLVD

International Mother Language Plaza

On October 12, 2021, we opened the International Mother Language Plaza in Kirkbridge Park. The International Mother Language Plaza acknowledges the struggles many groups have fought to protect their language. Residents of Southwest Winnipeg speak many different languages and this was a dream transformed into reality through the strength, passion and perseverance of so many community members!

School Bus Safety Being Disregarded

Many students live in apartments and condos along Pembina Highway. Multiple school buses are stopping along Pembina to either pick up or drop off students – and vehicles must stop when the school bus has lights flashing and the stop arm is extended. Illegally passing a school bus results in a large fine and moves you down the Driver Safety Rating scale. Be cautious around school buses, and always stop when a bus’ red lights are flashing.
