Some City of Winnipeg money, earmarked for repairing riverbank erosion, appears to have gone missing.

Councillors on the downtown development committee were told by city administrators Thursday morning that about $1 million is no longer there, that it may have been reallocated in the fall due to budget issues.

The news floored Coun. Brian Mayes, who has some serious riverbank erosion issues in his St. Vital ward.

He said there was no vote to move the money and he's determined to find out where it went and get it back.

"I want answers and this is very upsetting, like this is something I've, I had a big announcement on in my ward, about that particular project, Guay Park," said Mayes, who plans to bring the issue up at the city's executive policy committee meeting on Friday.

"Where's the money? We don't know where the money's gone. None of us voted to reallocate the money."
