The Social Planning Council of Winnipeg has proposed moving the Canadian Pacific rail yards out of central Winnipeg. The CP yards, which includes the Weston Shops and Logan Yards, are one of the largest in the world, creating a physical barrier between Winnipeg's North End and the rest of the city. Other cities, including Montreal, Toronto and San Francisco, have moved yards and redeveloped former railway land. There's more information at spcw.mb.ca.
