Winnipeg to install 13 temporary concrete curbs to calm traffic throughout the city
The traffic calming curbs will be installed at 13 sites throughout Winnipeg, including near schools and dense residential areas that are known for speeding issues, intersections with wide corners and crosswalks with poor visibility, the city said in a Monday news release.
Four of the 13 sites are on Templeton Avenue, according to the city's website.
The city says the installations are a quick and cost-effective way of temporarily changing roadway layouts to reduce safety risks until permanent measures can be made, in addition to minimizing conflict between pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
The curbs are made of yellow concrete, and are about 2½ metres long and weigh around 2,000 pounds each, which the city noted is similar to a bison.
The first curbs will be installed on Chancellor Drive this week, a city spokesperson told CBC News. More are expected to be installed in August, with ongoing monitoring, assessments and reviews scheduled between September and next April.
The city is also partnering with Art City to install asphalt in some areas to boost visibility and "beautify the neighbourhood," the city said.

An Acura Integra Type R Just Sold for $204,000
I don't know precisely when it happened, but the Acura Integra Type R has become the bellwether and poster child for controversially valued modern enthusiast classics. My friend Caleb wrote about one with fewer than 2,000 miles on the odometer that sold for $63,800 back in 2018. That may have seemed like a lot back then, but the Gran Turismo staple has, regrettably, more than kept up with inflation. Today, a Phoenix Yellow example from 2001 with 4,800 recorded miles sold on Bring a Trailer for $204,204. This vehicle was one of 1,173 supposedly built for U.S. sale for its model year. It is absolutely pristine as you'd expect; a totally unmodified coupe with 25-year-old tires belonging to the RealTime Collection Hall, which may, in part, explain the astronomical sale price. Peter Cunningham's RealTime Racing famously dominated North American touring car competition with these, and if anyone knows how special the Integra Type R can be, that's the crew. Like all American Integra Type Rs, the high-revving 1.8-liter four-cylinder in this one makes 195 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, and is connected to a five-speed manual. When new, this car cost $24,930, equivalent to $45,176 today. That inflation adjustment actually maps shockingly well onto a new Civic Type R, which will set you back no less than $47,045 in 2025 dollars. And you could afford four of those for what this Integra's third owner has paid for this car. Everything that could be said about this phenomenon of working-class performance cars encased in amber, trading hands for 911 Turbo figures, has pretty much been said before. Some will bemoan it. Others will take no position, throw their hands up, and say the market sets the value. And others still in the comments section will celebrate it, because they already own one or three. The Integra Type R deserves its vaunted status, as those lucky enough to have driven one would agree. A 2,400-pound curb weight, 8,400-rpm redline, and the front-wheel-drive chassis to which all will forever be compared will earn you that distinction. Everyone's got their line, though. If you asked me seven years ago what mine was, it's fair to assume it would have been lower than $63,000. But now, after this? $63K looks like a pretty good deal, and that's how a line gets moved. I would only spend that on a Japanese one with the better headlights, though. Got a tip? Send us a note: tips@

There's ONE Day Left To Buy This 5k-Mile 2001 Acura Integra Type R
There's ONE Day Left To Buy This 5k-Mile 2001 Acura Integra Type R originally appeared on Autoblog. Is there a more desirable Integra than this one? Probably not Although the current Acura Integra is a great car in isolation, it has failed to capture the imagination of Honda and Acura enthusiasts the way older Integras have, specifically the third-generation model that first arrived in the 1990s. Now, one of the most desirable Integras ever is up for auction on Bring A Trailer. This 2001 Type R has ultra-low miles, is in impeccable condition, and is one of not many to be built for the U.S. market. The combination of these factors has created a heated bidding war that is now deep into six figures. From Under $25k To At Least $120k View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article When purchased new in Illinois, this 2001 Acura Integra Type R had a total price of $24,930. Around 25 years later, the current bid for this iconic compact is sitting at $120,000. You can buy two brand-new Integra Type S models with a 355-horsepower V6 and still have plenty left over for that amount. There's still something irreplaceable about this 2001 model's four rounded headlights, sporty two-door shape, and cheeky rear wing, though, especially in this eye-catching Phoenix Yellow paint. The prominent Type R badging makes it instantly recognizable. Under the hood is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated for 195 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque. The buzzy VTEC engine is paired to a sweet five-speed manual gearbox, and there's also a limited-slip differential. At the time, this was considered one of the best-handling front-wheel-drive cars available anywhere, a legacy that Honda continues to live up to with today's Civic Type R. The four-pot has covered just 4,800 miles, which is nothing for this feisty engine that can rev up to 8,400 rpm with Interior View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article Inside, this Type R has a black cloth interior with red stitching on the seats, which also have microsuede inserts. The simple gauges show a tachometer that goes all the way up to 10,000 rpm, a wonderful reminder of high-revving, naturally-aspirated engines. The Acura comes with air conditioning, an audio system with six speakers, power windows, dual front airbags, power mirrors, and a center armrest with the Type R badge. This particular example is #1,086 of just 1,173 examples built for the United States, and it's hard to imagine that any of the others are in better shape. A clean CarFax report and title add peace of mind, as does the fact that the battery and hydraulic fluids were replaced in 2022. The engine oil was last changed back in 2020, so that's something the lucky new owner will want to look at, despite the low mileage. It's going to be fascinating to see if the winning bid exceeds $120k, and we'll know the answer to that soon.
