Ribbon Cutting of the Chief Peguis Extension

The first extension routes most vehicular traffic away from collector and residential streets throughout the North Kildonan ward travelling west-east.

The extension includes features such as:

Chief Peguis Trail crosses the Red River. The bridge over the river is called the Kildonan Settlers Bridge, and features names of local early settlers of the area on each street light.

Chief Peguis Trail is part of a proposed strategic inner ring road, alternative to the Perimeter Highway.[4]
