  • Portage and Main reopens to pedestrians after decades
    Jun 27 2025

    CBC's Darren Bernhardt speaks with host Marcy Markusa about the long, controversial history behind Winnipeg's iconic intersection. From its 19th-century roots to decades of pedestrian restrictions and shifting public opinion, Darren walks through the politics, pushback and infrastructure decisions that led to today's historic reopening of Portage and Main.


    Mayor Scott Gillingham speaks with Marcy Markusa about the long-awaited reopening of Portage and Main to pedestrian traffic for the first time since 1979. He talks about the financial reasoning behind the decision, the future of Winnipeg's downtown, and what this moment means for the city's identity. The conversation also touches on accessibility concerns, transit changes and the legacy of a landmark intersection.
