Should Winnipeg Airport's West Perimeter Road and Security Fence Be Relocated?
Official title: Airport West Perimeter Road and Primary Security Line Relocation
Winnipeg Richardson International Airport wants to build a new security fence and move a perimeter road on the west side of the airport. The project involves installing a 3-metre chain link fence, paving a new road, and improving drainage. The airport authority needs to determine if this will cause significant environmental harm.
Why This Matters
Live near Winnipeg's airport? This construction could affect local drainage and landscaping for about 3 months. The airport is asking whether the project might harm the environment before proceeding.
What Could Change
If approved, the airport will build a new 3-metre security fence and relocate the perimeter road on the west side. Construction would last about 3 months and include drainage improvements and landscaping.
Key Issues
- Will the road relocation and fence construction cause significant environmental harm?
- Are the proposed drainage improvements and erosion control measures adequate?
