Wolseley Residents For Fair Transit
We want Transit to work with us, not against us
Winnipeg Transit is proposing to turn the Wolseley community into a major bus route. Up to eight buses every hour would come through our heritage community in both peak and off-peak hours. The buses would roll in both directions on Wolseley Avenue and Arlington Street. As well, the existing #10 route will be cancelled.
Join us in our fight to ensure Winnipeg Transit respects the needs of Wolseley residents and understands the character of our neighbourhood as it rolls out its major route changes in 2025
We ask City Hall and Winnipeg Transit to cancel the implementation of the proposed high-frequency bus thoroughfare in Wolseley.
We ask Winnipeg Transit to engage in proper consultation and research so social, environmental, and financial impacts are considered as new routes are implemented in the Wolseley community.
We ask Winnipeg Transit to continue some version of the current No. 10 route through the Wolseley community.

What we heard from residents
“Some residents have already experienced flooded basements from broken pipes at a time when there were only three buses an hour traveling northbound only. The City had to absorb the cost of repairs but homeowners also had damages.”
“Loss of parking is a serious concern. There is already high pressure on street parking on blocks with co-op housing, multi-family rentals, apartment blocks, and one-hour parking zones.”
“Arlington and Wolseley have not been rebuilt in decades – well before the memory of most residents. Calls to 311 to repair crumbling asphalt and concrete with potholes, cracks and sinkholes result in spot treatments.”
