The background to this petition is as follows:

• Provincial Road number 224 serves Peguis First Nation, Fisher River Cree Nation and surrounding communities. The road is in need of substantial repairs.
• The road has been in poor condition for years and has numerous potholes, uneven driving surfaces, and extremely narrow shoulders.
• Due to recent population growth in the area, there has been increased vehicular and pedestrian use of PR 224.
• Without repair, PR 224 will continue to pose a hazard to the many Manitobans who use it regularly.
• Concerned Manitobans are requesting that PR 224 be assessed and repaired urgently to improve safety for its users.

We petition the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as follows:

• To urge the Minister of Infrastructure to complete an assessment of PR 224 and implement the appropriate repairs using public funds as quickly as possible.
