Winnipeggers invited to review options for bike route through St. Boniface to Downtown

Released: May 12, 2022 at 12:45 p.m.

Winnipeg, MB – The City of Winnipeg is now seeking input on a series of proposed active transportation designs to connect St. Boniface to Downtown.

Building on the Council-approved Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies, this project is exploring options 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. The study will also include connections to the Southeast Corridor, Taché Promenade, and Notre Dame Street pedestrian bridge over the Seine River.

The proposed designs are based on what the City heard in Phase 1 of engagement, along with technical analysis and information. Feedback is being sought on three possible routing options west of the Seine River, and one recommended route east of the Seine River to connect to Archibald Street:

  • West Option A: Provencher Boulevard (as a standalone route through the area)
  • West Option B: A combination route that serves neighbourhoods both north and south of Provencher Boulevard with parallel routes on both de la Cathedrale Avenue (south of Provencher Boulevard) and Notre Dame Street (north of Provencher Boulevard)
  • West Option C: A combination route that serves neighbourhoods both north and south of Provencher with parallel routes on both de la Cathedrale (south of Provencher) and Dumoulin Street (north of Provencher)
  • East recommended design: Nadeau Street / Notre Dame Street / La Fleche Street / La Verendrye Street to connect to Archibald Street

Opportunities to engage are open through June 14, 2022.
