Winnipeggers invited to talk about active transportation routes from St. Boniface to Downtown

Released: August 27, 2020 at 2:38 p.m.

Winnipeg, MB – The City of Winnipeg is inviting residents to provide input into an active transportation link between St. Boniface and Downtown.

The St. Boniface to Downtown Walk Bike Project aims to improve travel choices, accessibility, and connectivity between the Esplanade Riel footbridge/Provencher Bridge and the multi-use path on Archibald Street south of Nairn Avenue.

This connection was identified as a priority in the Council-approved Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies, which guide the development of pedestrian and cycling infrastructure that meets the needs of all ages and abilities.

As part of the first phase of a preliminary design study, the project team is asking Winnipeggers to provide information on how they travel through the project area, and also what type and routing of infrastructure they feel would best serve their needs.

Winnipeggers can:
