WINNIPEG --
Reports of graffiti in Winnipeg have more than doubled so far this year compared to last year, and it is a problem a city councillor has noticed in his neighbourhood.
The walking bridge to Assiniboine Park has received some unwanted paint jobs this spring. Graffiti is spattered across the bridge and on nearby signs.
However, the Assiniboine Park bridge has not been the only target of vandalism in the area.
Scott Gillingham, the city councillor for St. James, said he has heard concerns from several residents about graffiti popping up on city buildings, including Woodhaven Community Centre, and on bridges and properties around the Sturgeon Creek Trail.
