The Alexander Docks could finally be getting a facelift after years of sitting defunct, and local residents are hoping the rejuvenation could bring change to the whole neighbourhood.
WINNIPEG The Exchange District BIZ said it is looking into future plans for the Alexander Docks, which have been shut down for several years due to safety concerns. The City of Winnipeg told CTV News Winnipeg the dock is unsafe in its current state and repairing the docks would not be cost effective. However, the city noted it is in discussions with the Exchange District BIZ about the next steps for the docks. It said it is waiting on ideas for how the docks can play a part in the organization’s long-term plan for the area. David Pensato, executive director of Exchange District Business Improvement Zone, said the docks are an important piece of property for the Exchange District and the city.
