Within the city boundaries it connects the largely industrial areas of south Transcona and east St. Boniface with Old St. Boniface and (via St. Mary's Road) downtown.

The streets join at their intersection with Rue Youville just west of the Seine River, and the two-way road continues as Marion Street eastward to Lagimodiere Boulevard.

The route jogs north on Lagimodiere for approximately 450 meters before continuing eastward as Dugald Road, becoming Manitoba Highway 15 as it passes by the Perimeter Highway.

Goulet Street was named for Maxime Goulet, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba (MLA) in the 19th century.

From west to east:[2] The entire route is in Winnipeg.
