Posted on by Neons

The Manitoba government is giving the city $6 million to repair the road and create a pedestrian walkway in Old Kildonan.

Mollard Road, which fronts the Perimeter Highway near West St. Paul, will be renovated to accommodate new buildings in the area, provincial news reported Sunday.

Members of the Manitoba Sikh Society have supported renovations after the society opens a new building in Mollard in 2021 that will include a school, library and place of worship, the release said.

“For decades, the community has been asking governments to recognize the importance of safe road infrastructure for the growing number of weekly visitors who use this road to access the Sikh Society of Manitoba,” Gurmeet Singh Panchi, president of the Sikh Society of Manitoba, said in a release.
