Photograph shows aerial view of intersection at Portage Avenue and Main Street (after barriers closing intersection to pedestrian concourse). Also shows Bank of Nova Scotia (Trizec Building) under construction. Photograph likely taken from the top of the Richardson Building.

Caption (on file): "Residents of Winnipeg who for a hundred years have fought the wintry winds at the corner of Portage and Main will now cross in summertime comfort with the provision of an environmentally controlled pedestrian concourse beneath Canada's most famous corner."
