Two city councillors say Winnipeggers should have a say on Portage and Main.
Councillors Jeff Browaty and Janice Lukes want a referendum added to the October ballot on the future of the iconic intersection.
The question would ask voters if they support opening Portage and Main to pedestrians.
The councillors claim proper public input on the project has not occurred.
Mayor Brian Bowman has taken steps this term towards removing the barricades down the road. A recent report says one of the four crossings could open as early as 2019 pending a vote by a new council after the election.
Bowman says his inner circle will consider the referendum idea. But the mayor points out he ran on this issue in the 2014 campaign and received a strong mandate.
