Winnipeg city council has approved $5 million in next year’s budget to start acquiring more than 100 properties in one of its first concrete steps toward widening Kenaston Boulevard.

The vote, which passed 11-2 at the council meeting on October 30, sets in motion a process that could ultimately lead to one of the city’s most expensive infrastructure projects. 

The plan calls for widening Route 90 to six lanes between Taylor and Ness avenues, replacing the aging St. James bridges, and overhauling underground sewers and land drainage.
