A comment from the "Building Owners and Managers Association of Manitoba":

"Our expectation is that the city commits to repairing and maintaining this critical piece of downtown infrastructure.”

Translation: we expect the city to pay for the whole thing so we can benefit.
Doesn’t the City have a clear obligation to maintain the infrastructure it owns? The Richardson buildings, 201 Portage, and 360/300 Main have each made substantial investments in their portions of the concourse. These properties contribute millions in property taxes annually those dollars should be used to maintain the city owned concourse.
