FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MANITOBA

Two-Year Multi-Disciplinary Study
Started December 7, 2008

THE PROJECT

The East Side of Lake Winnipeg (ESLW) is a strategic area for infrastructure planning in Manitoba. Currently, the Province of Manitoba has committed to developing an All-Season Road (ASR) system on the ESLW. This ASR system is expected to serve communities, provide opportunities for social and economic development and be environmentally responsive and respectful of First Nations traditional activities, culture and land values.

THE PROPONENT

The Government of Manitoba has created a Crown Agency, the East Side Road Authority (ESRA), responsible for the execution of all facets of the project. ESRA has retained SNC-Lavalin, AECOM and JD Mollard & Associates to aid ESRA in this work. For this project, ESRA’s initial priority initiative is to complete a study finalizing the transportation corridors throughout the ESLW study area over the next two years.

The Study

The East Side Transportation Study will use a multi-disciplinary planning and engineering approach to identify the preferred All-Season Road (ASR) alignments to connect the East Side communities to the rest of the all-season transportation network in Manitoba.

Due to the large number of communities and the significance of their participation in this study, our project team will employ two parallel and interactive processes to carry out this study: a technical process and a community input process. The technical process involves the identification of feasible all-season route alternatives based on important route selection criteria; and the community input process involves the engagement with your community to receive input related to the potential effects of an all-season road system.
