As the days get longer this weekend so will the traffic lineups on Jubilee and Portage avenues.

Two of Winnipeg's most popular ice-cream spots are set to open for the 2016 season. Sargent Sundae, across Portage from Assiniboine Park, will dish up their first serving on Friday.

The Bridge Drive-in on Jubilee Avenue and Riverdale Street, at the foot of the Elm Park pedestrian bridge, has been getting stock deliveries for the past week in preparation for its opening on Saturday at noon, said owner Justin Jacob.

The BDI opened, as did restaurant patios and driving ranges as people got out to soak up the vitamin D.
