On December 13, 2017 Council approved the motion from the Standing Policy Committee on Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works that the William R. Clement Parkway component of this project is allowed to continue. Council decided that any planning for the east/west connection of the William R. Clement Parkway extension project must follow and be included in the Precinct Plan for the South Wilkes area. The City will not approve or engage any major capital infrastructure planning in these areas until a new Precinct Plan is adopted by Council. Council, through the OurWinnipeg review, shall rank the prioritization of the South Wilkes Precinct as part of the OurWinnipeg and Complete Communities review. Work on the WRCP north of CN (Ridgewood) to Grant may be considered as a first phase.
