For Winnipeggers looking for a winter walk along the Red River, a new St. Boniface walkway featuring public art and a lookout is now open. The Taché Promenade, along Taché Avenue on the east side of the Red River between Provencher Boulevard and Despins Street, includes a widened "promenade-style" walkway, a pedestrian belvédère — or lookout — and a new public art installation called Phare Ouest (Far West) by Winnipeg artist Marcel Gosselin.

Though there is still some work that needs to be completed in the spring, both the lookout structure and sidewalks are open for use, a city spokesperson confirmed Friday.
