Partnership plans busy year

Winnipeg Free Press

The Forks North Portage Partnership is gearing up for a big year -- preparing the groundwork for construction of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, planning construction of a 600-stall parkade at The Forks, and kick-starting a development project on Portage Avenue and possibly a housing project along the Red River. Jim August, CEO of the Forks North Portage Partnership, said 2006 will likely be a pivotal year for the agency. Construction is expected to start on the $243-million museum, and The Forks will have to devise a transportation and parking plan to get visitors in and out of the park.
