The Graham Avenue Transit Mall is a 9-block transit mall in downtown Winnipeg that is mostly reserved for Winnipeg Transit buses, as well as cyclists and pedestrians.[1][2]
Having been in the planning stages since the 1970s, Graham Mall was completed in 1995.[1] Today, the Mall sees 1,800 buses and 100,000 transit users every day.[2][3] It is built mostly of highway-grade concrete and features cobblestone brick at all intersections.
History
Funding and construction of the Graham Avenue Transit Mall began in 1994,[4] and after two years (1994-95) opened in the summer of 1995.[1]
In recent years, road work around the mall has begun to degrade and is in need of serious maintenance work on concrete and cobblestones to keep the roadway smooth.[5] In early 2019, due to safety concerns, a Transit Inspector Station was constructed at the Cargill Building (eastbound Graham at Garry St.) stop.
