  Pedestrians the priority in blueprint for Osborne Village transformation

  A new vision for Osborne Village suggests pedestrians could cross in all directions at one key intersection amid widened sidewalks, narrowed road lanes and slower vehicles. The Osborne Village BIZ “Blueprint for a Vibrant and Healthy Neighbourhood” floats several specific ideas, including the addition of a pedestrian scramble at Osborne Street and River Avenue – where all vehicle traffic would temporarily stop to let pedestrians cross diagonally and in all other directions at the same time. “There’s a lot of people that move through that (intersection), pedestrians and cyclists. (The scramble is) an opportunity to meet the needs of the community and to help redefine how people are moving and engaging through the neighbourhood,” said Lindsay Somers, executive director of the BIZ. It would be the first pedestrian scramble in Winnipeg.

  Blast from the past

  KENORA, Ont. — Joe Ralko spent a day in May 1973 cleaning bits of human flesh out of his typewriter at the Kenora Calendar office. The 19-year-old Grade 13 student at Lakewood High School had a junior reporting job at the weekly newspaper above the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce on Main Street in the northwestern Ontario city. An incident on May 10, 1973 — the day before he set to work cleaning — blew in all the windows at the Calendar. Shards of glass flew into the office, along with bits of flesh and blood from a bank robber whose caper had gone seriously and shockingly wrong. Ralko’s Underwood typewriter sat under a street-side window and took the brunt of the debris. Ralko estimated the 10-kg machine had a cup of flesh pushed deep into the mechanism of keys, lettered arms and ink reels. He cleaned it using tissue paper, toilet paper, rags and his bare fingers, all the while breathing through his mouth in an office that reeked of “burning flesh and gunpowder,” he said in an interview this month.
