Article content
Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman has filed a motion in an upcoming committee that recommends city council request the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) an organization created by the province to publicly release a draft of Plan 20-50 in order that all municipal councils in the WMR are given a chance to review and approve the plan prior to its completion.
Plan 20-50 is a long-term regional plan that seeks to optimize and coordinate the use of municipal resources instead of carrying on with a disconnected system where Winnipeg and surrounding communities compartmentalize their services, like roads, fire stations, waste and development.
