Winnipeg, MB �' This summer, the City will construct a dedicated bike lane on Sherbrook Street between the Maryland Bridge and Cumberland Avenue and the work will include the City’s first parking protected bike lane.
A parking protected bike lane is located between the sidewalk and a lane of parked cars and is intended to separate cyclists from traffic via the parked cars. The Sherbrook Street parking protected bike lane will extend from Wolseley Avenue to Broadway.
As part of this project, a buffered bike lane (a curbside bike lane that is separated from traffic by two white painted lines on the roadway) will also be installed on Sherbrook Street from Broadway to Cumberland Avenue.
Together the parking protected bike lane and the buffered bike lane will form the north bound partner to the south bound bike lane implemented on Maryland Street in 2010.
In addition, upgrades to bus stops on Sherbrook Street will improve the quality of the pedestrian and cycling environment while reducing the possible conflict between pedestrians and cyclists.
A conceptual drawing of the new bike facility can be viewed at City of Winnipeg - Active Transportation Maps and Routes.
