Winnipeg, MB – The City of Winnipeg is inviting residents to review the recommended design for the Wolseley to Downtown Walk Bike Project.
The project will close a gap in the pedestrian and cycling network by connecting Downtown with West Broadway and Wolseley neighbourhoods, and also aims to increase safety and convenience throughout the area.
We’ve spent more than a year talking to Winnipeggers about their wants and needs for active transportation from Wolseley and West Broadway into Downtown and discussing how we could increase safety and convenience throughout the area.
We now have a recommended design that speaks directly to what we heard during Phases 1 & 2 of engagement. We want to share and explain the recommended solutions, and hear how implementation might affect residents, business owners, and other stakeholders.

Engage in-person
Date: Wednesday, January 29, 2020
Time: 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Location: Westminster United Church, Lecture Hall, 745 Westminster Ave.
Format: Come-and-go open house
The recommended solutions address the concerns we heard the most about in each of the two main project areas:
- Increasing pedestrian and cyclist safety in Wolseley while also maintaining traffic flow and access to parking and businesses.
- Increasing safety and predictability of all road users in the area of Granite Way, Balmoral Street, Young Street, and Westminster Avenue.
What we hear in Phase 3 will confirm our plans, help us refine the final design, and make note of areas in which you feel we could do better.
