Osborne Village Neighbourhood Plan

      Osborne Village Neighbourhood Plan (#220/06)

Osborne Village is a unique and complex neighbourhood, with a special character of its own. Historic single-family homes and modern bungalows, high-rise apartments, a vibrant commercial main street, office conversions, industry, and strip malls among other uses coexist side-by-side. The evolution of the Village has made this area unique to Winnipeg.

In 1998, community members participated in the creation of the Fort Rouge Neighbourhood Management Plan, a plan that provides broad guidelines for decision-making within the larger Fort Rouge area. That plan identified a number of issues and actions that would require further study. Among the items identified was the absence of a cohesive development plan.

The goal of this process is to provide a framework that will help guide any future development and redevelopment in Osborne Village.

Osborne Village Neighbourhood Plan

The Osborne Village Neighbourhood Plan has been completed and is available for review. The Plan and Maps are available below, and will be presented at a community open house for review and comment. The Plan will be revised to reflect feedback from the community, and pictures and graphics will be incorporated into the final draft.
