Hi,
The Walk/Bike Open Houses are postponed for now. We will provide an update when possible.
We are currently continuing to work on
developing this comprehensive draft plan, including an implementation
plan. At this point, previously scheduled Public Open House dates
have been delayed, as we would like to ensure that what we present to the
public is comprehensive and complete prior to moving forward with the next
round of public engagement. We will advise the public 4-6 prior to any
Public Open Houses(s) to ensure you have adequate time to share the dates
within your respective networks.
Thanks for your interest in this study!

POSTPONED TILL LATER DATE:
Pedestrian and
Cycling Strategy Open Houses
![]() The City of Winnipeg is continuing to develop Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies. There has been great progress to date with a comprehensive public engagement process that has demonstrated a need for these Strategies to enhance walking and cycling as safe, viable and attractive transportation choices. With the completion of a city-wide telephone survey and a voluntary online survey, the City has received valuable input from over 2,200 Winnipeggers to help identify the walking and cycling needs and wants for citizens. A targeted stakeholder workshop was also completed, with representation from the education, tourism, development, health, environment, accessibility, and business communities, as well as inner city and suburban organizations, and new Canadians. Improving sidewalks and connections for pedestrians and developing a sustainable and well-connected bicycle network are at the top of the average citizen’s priorities for Active Transportation, is what has been learned through the public engagement process. The next step is to present the draft recommendations that will shape the future of walking and cycling in Winnipeg for years to come. So far, two open houses have been scheduled (a third may be added for Northwest Winnipeg): February 1st, 2014 10:30am - 2:30pm Qualico Family Centre - Assiniboine Park 330 Assiniboine Park Drive February 4th, 2014 3:00pm-8:00pm Manitoba Hydro Building Lobby 360 Portage Avenue Note that there is a slight chance that the date, time, or location of these meetings will change. Please check with Bike Winnipeg's Events Calendar for up to date information.
