The empty lot on Silver Creek Road next to the roundabout.
Residents who live near a provincially owned lot in Bridgwater are frustrataed it’s been covered in weeds/is an eyesore, but the city is powerless to get it cleaned up because it doesn’t have jurisdiction. We have viewed a message from 311 saying that because it’s a Manitoba Housing property, city bylaw officers cannot intervene.
