Manitoba Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler said on Friday, May 22, 2020, that the province is setting up online public engagement opportunities to figure out how best to improve safety on Garven Road (PR 213) at Provincial Road 206.
“Road safety is a priority of the Manitoba government, and we are listening to concerns expressed by drivers and community members about the intersection of PR 206 and Garven Road,” said Schuler. “In response to serious collisions at the intersection, Manitoba Infrastructure added interim safety measures last year, with the intention of creating permanent solutions. We are now gathering public input on the proposed plan.”
The province is considering two options to improve safety at the intersection: a roundabout or traffic control signals.
Almost a year ago, in June 2019, Manitoba Infrastructure announced that they would be installing rumble strips in both directions on Garven Road, flags on the stop-ahead signs and a flashing red light on the stop signs.
In November, the speed limits on both roads were reduced.
