Thursday, October 27, 2011 - Winnipeg Blue Bomber Stadium Traffic Impact Study
On Thursday, October 27, 2011, Mr. Robert Kurylko, P.Eng., a Transportation
Engineer with Stantec, presented on the traffic impacts of the new
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Stadium. The stadium is currently being
constructed at the University of Manitoba and is slated to open for next
year's season. During events, the development is expected to generate
high volumes of traffic and accommodating all of the required parking
will be a major challenge. Increased transit services will hopefully
help to reduce the anticipated congestion by shuttling patrons to and
from games.
