Found the costs. In our Capital Projects Explorer Open Data portal.

390m of Dugald road maintenance in Winnipeg is ~$6,500,000 million dollars. #wild

Broadway ave renewal ~$16 million and we probably won't get bike lanes.

Jubilee - $13 million.

Like this nugget, but with historical figures for every road segment within the city. Right now, it's very hard to even find the cost of each current projects let alone past projects. It's detailed when you find it.

I'd also like to click on any road segment and see what projects have happened, planned, construction disruption timing & costs + maintenance.

I've asked @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social multiple times, but someone higher up seems to not approve this request. I know we have the data.

Does your city?

This was from 2017. I'm just importing my old tweets. On the post's detail page, there's a timestamp these were originally posted on twitter. This sliver still seems to exist with a "single file" sign in front. From afar, I thought it was the startings of a protected Dutch rotary. One day 🤞

and then 100ft down the path, it’s completely different and perfect. Why the consistency issues? @cityofwinnipeg

A couple negatives. 1. The taxi area slip lane. Needs a bump before the crossing. Ppl need to be forced to pay attention. 2. The final approach. Narrow sidewalk w/ harsh square corners & no safe descent onto road. 3. Narrow crossings and snow mounds 4. Long-term bike parking

Par for the course is "the Dutch currently spends ~7 percent of its transport budget on cycling (~€30/capita/year)" "A smart city has nothing to do with artificial intelligence or sensors. A city is smart when children can walk & cycle freely & safely."

#2 comes w/ dangerous human-made humanholes. Kids won’t ride on #2. Parents won’t let them be that close to careless motor couches. Who’s making these decisions? Someone is going to get hurt no matter how much paint or pylons you lay down. #1 is infrastructure for everyone.

Here’s 6 minutes south on the same street on the portion closed to pedestrians. ~230 peds and 38 personal vehicles. Fyi, The last count was ~657 peds and 0 personal vehicles.

Here’s 6 minutes of counting on Duval St in @City_of_KeyWest, using @counterpointapp. Not shown here is the Regular count breakdown of bikes and the amount of kids walking on this open street. This is how streets should be. P.s App crashed but saved my progress on next app load

Ahhh, a few blocks north they opened the road to people. Why not the whole downtown? Motor couches have no unrestricted place to roam in our cities amongst people.

Why is this one (in the video) instant but not the one on Provencher above?

For the record here’s my councillor actively saying the way to keep “squatters” from taking shelter in the elements is to use jagged rocks so it hurts to sleep or sit. A terrible way to think. And for the record the way to avoid “squatters” is to #HousePeopleNow. https://t.co/bwail6TT74
