AT projects become political football
by Beth McKechnie 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Unfortunately, it appears that the new AT infrastructure projects (which must be completed before the snow falls or the funding from the province and feds is lost) are being used as a political football with the upcoming election. An easy mark, perhaps. Please note that the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ is hosting a Mayoral Forum next Thursday, October 7, 5:30-7:30 pm at Manitoba Hydro Place. Richard Cloutier (CJOB) and Dan Lett (Winnipeg Free Press) will lead the candidates in a dynamic discussion about downtown issues, including bike lanes, rapid transit, etc. This should be an excellent opportunity for input and discussion.I will circulate a notice for the forum shortly. cheers, Beth -- Beth McKechnie Workplace Commuter Options Green Action Centre 204.925.3772 www.greenactioncentre.ca Green Action Centre is a registered charity.

On Monday afternoon, incumbent Mayor Sam Katz told reporters he wants to halt construction on the $250,000 Bannatyne-McDermot bikeway, one of 36 active-transportation projects the city planned to conduct this year with the help of federal and provincial infrastructure money. Hours later, the city placed the project on hold, citing the need to conduct more talks with residents and businesses along the route, which runs from Waterfront Drive to Sherbrook Street. "During projects such as this, sometimes dialogue with the community results in improvements to the project through design change," city spokesman Steve West said in a statement. "With regard to the McDermot Bikeway, we have concluded that more dialogue will be beneficial." The move comes as another blow to an active-transportation project all three levels of government have hailed as a long overdue upgrade to the city's network of bike-and-pedestrian corridors. The $20.4 million in spending represents nearly an eight-fold increase over the $2.6 million the city typically spends every year to build recreational and commuter cycling routes as well as other pathways. Several of the projects have angered residents and businesses, who claim the city failed to consult with them properly about the changes. A $1-million bridge planned for Omand Park was struck from the project list this spring. At the end of the summer, six Broadway-Assiniboine businesses sued the city over the $125,000 Assiniboine Bikeway. Work on the Assiniboine Avenue project continues, but the Bannatyne-McDermot project has now been shelved, leading Katz to criticize city staff about the project for the fourth time in six days. "This city does not have to go the extra mile. It has to go the extra 10 miles in consultation," Katz told reporters after a mayoral-candidate forum at the Fort Garry Hotel. "When anything like this happens in the future, you will see consultation above and beyond." Katz told reporters he did not personally vote in favour of the projects, which he said were approved by community committees. In fact, the mayor and 12 out of 15 councillors approved the active-transportation upgrade on Dec. 15, 2009, when council approved the 2010 capital budget. And the project details merely came before community committees as information. Only the capital budget provides authority for the spending. In a scrum with reporters, Katz accepted responsibility. "I am the mayor. No matter where you draw the line, the buck ends up at my table," he said. Mayoral challenger Judy Wasylycia-Leis said Katz should also halt the Assiniboine Bikeway if he's serious about public consultation. "It's a little late in the game, in an election period, saying he's going to halt construction," she told reporters. "He's acknowledging he made a strategic error in planning and consulting." After a round of public-service cuts at the management level in 2009, the city has two senior staffers working on the active-transportation upgrade. Private consultants were also hired to engage in public consultation. Katz has dismissed suggestions meagre resources are not to blame for the city's performance. He also said tight timelines associated with the federal funding for the active-transportation upgrade are to blame. The projects must be finished before the end of March to qualify for federal infrastructure money. All but three must be completed before the snow falls because they involve laying concrete. bartley.kives(a)freepress.mb.ca

Winnipeg Trails Association FALL UPDATE
by Janice Lukes 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Hi all, The Winnipeg Trails Association (WTA) is a coalition of volunteer trail builders and trail users. For the past 6+ years, the WTA's volunteer chair has been Paul Jordan, who is also COO of The Forks. Paul has been providing brilliant direction, guidance and advice in growing Winnipeg's trails network. For the past 4 years, the WTA has been able to secure funding through multiple organizations and levels of government to hire a coordinator for various trail related projects. This past spring the WTA received a verbal commitment from the Province of Manitoba that project based funding would be forthcoming. As of yet, this funding has not been secured but we are optimistic it will come through to enable the continued development of trailheads, KM marker installations, website, the sharing of information between groups, and broadening the awareness of the benefits of trails - through events and various initiatives. As the WTA coordinator, I have been volunteering my time since April and am focusing on the following initiatives: NORTHEAST PIONEERS GREENWAY - Pedestrian / cyclist's separated bridge or 'flyover' The city is spending $110 M to extend the Chief Peguis freeway from Henderson to Lagimodiere - which passes directly through one of the busiest multi use trails in the Province - the Northeast Pioneers Greenway. I am ecstatic to say, through the very very hard work of volunteers AND the support of Mayor Katz, the city will be building a separate pedestrian / cyclists bridge OVER the freeway. Think of the bridge over the William B. Clement Parkway (formerly known as the Charleswood Parkway). From a larger perspective, and in a short few years - this flyover will be part of a stellar route enabling people to travel safely from south Winnipeg to Birds Hill Provincial Park. THANK YOU to Sigrun Bailey, Louise Balaban, Anders Swanson AND Mayor Katz for helping to move this forward. You can catch a bit more info on this project on CJOB news and in today's Free Press. TRAILHEADS: The trailhead sign design for the trailheads for Harte, Bishop, Cordite and Northeast Pioneers Greenway trails are finalized. The city will include these in their Parkway trailhead sign tender for production this fall. Recall the structures design was finalized and structure installations have occurred on the above trails. This was a complex process to determine the details / requirements for the components of trailheads, but it lays the standards for all future trailheads. We expect Transcona, Bois des Esprit, Yellow Ribbon Pathway and more to be next on the list to complete. SECURING BALANCE of PROVINCIAL FUNDING COMMITMENT: During the 2007 Provincial election, the NDP made a funding commitment of $1.8M to the Winnipeg Trails Association to construct trails in Winnipeg. Of that amount ~ $1.3 has been used to construct the Bishop Grandin West, Harte, Transcona, and Seine River South trails. We are in the process of securing the remaining ~$500,000 of the WTA commitment to use along Pembina Hwy (between Plaza and Chevrier). CITY OF WINNIPEG - ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (ATAC) As a member of ATAC, I have been attending various meetings and providing input regarding development of the City's AT network. I expect that during the winter, a broad outreach to trail groups and the public will occur to gather additional information for next construction season. Current visible trail and on road construction, news articles, issues, and pending deadlines have all combined to raise a broader public interest - which hopefully engage more people in when the next round of public input occurs. PROVINCIAL ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY GROUP (ATAG) Last September, the Province of Manitoba formed a Provincial Active Transportation Advisory Group with the focus aimed at providing active transportation recommendations to government. For the past year, the group has been consulting Manitobans, organizations, and reviewing best practices throughout the world. I sit on that group as chair. We have completed our recommendations which will be handed off for internal gov't review next week, and are finalizing report production details. We expect the report to be made public once the Legislature sits again in November. IN SUMMARY: There are many other projects that need attention, but from my volunteer capacity I am unable to attend to. The role of WTA coordinator in these current times is a very demanding but very very rewarding. IF anyone is interested in learning more about the WTA coordinator position and would like to volunteer on some super interesting projects, please feel free to contact me.

WFP: Assiniboine bikeway to be built before ruling & Pedestrian bridge for Chief Pegus (Sept. 24)
by Beth McKechnie 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

*Winnipeg Free Press* Bikeway to be built before ruling Legal delay means project will be complete prior to court decision on it By: Bartley Kives An attempt to put the brakes on the Assiniboine Bikeway probably won't make it to court until construction on the contentious Assiniboine Avenue project is complete. Six businesses located near the Midtown Bridge have been trying to halt the $125,000 bikeway since construction began in late August, complaining that a recent tweak to the plan will cause traffic chaos in downtown's Broadway-Assiniboine neighbourhood. That amendment was made after a city council committee reviewed the plans for the bikeway, which changes the flow of traffic along Assiniboine Avenue to prevent motor vehicles from shortcutting through the neighbourhood. But when the case came before the Court of Queen's Bench on Thursday, the City of Winnipeg filed a motion to have the claim dismissed as baseless -- and also remove the plaintiff's lawyer, Joey Pollock, from the case. That effectively means it will take months before the case makes its way to court. "There will be snow on the ground before this matter will be heard," said Pollock, a partner in the law firm Campbell Marr. "It certainly could be December or later." The city wants to remove Pollock because his Campbell Marr partner Douglas Mackenzie swore an affidavit in the case, in his role as president of 10 Donald St., one of the six businesses suing the city. Campbell Marr is housed inside 10 Donald St. "The city contends no member of the Campbell Marr law firm can represent the businesses because Mr. Pollock's partner Doug Mackenzie has given evidence in this matter dealing with his role as counsel for the businesses about matters at issue in the litigation," city spokesman Steve West said in a statement. The city also wants to dismiss the claim itself because it contends the bikeway amendment did not have to come back before a council committee. The original report was "received as information," which means it did not progress to council itself. "The need to consult occurs when a street is closed, but the city is not closing a street. Assiniboine Avenue had motor-vehicle and bicycle traffic and it will continue to do so," West said. Pollock said he recognizes the city's right to raise procedural issues but considers the city's motion frivolous. Both he and the city's legal counsel are due in court today to set the time frame to hear the city's motion. Although originally planned for 2008, the Assiniboine Bikeway is part of a $20.4-million city-wide bike-and-pedestrian upgrade that includes 34 other projects this year. Several have been the subject of intense criticism from residents, leading politicians such as Mayor Sam Katz and River Heights Coun. John Orlikow to complain about the way the city notified the public. "What pains me the most is that something that you wanted to be embraced by all citizens -- I'm talking about active transportation -- unfortunately turns out to not be the case and I think part of it appears to be with the way the public consultation was done," Katz told reporters Thursday. "I've heard some stories that were extremely disconcerting to me, to be very frank with you." One of the plaintiffs on Assiniboine said he was notified by a notice taped to his door. City active-transportation co-ordinator Kevin Nixon has said the city has held more consultation on the active-transportation upgrade than private developers ever do. Resistance in Wolseley to a bike-and-pedestrian bridge over Omand's Creek led that project to be struck from the plan. But there is no going back on the Assiniboine Bikeway, Katz suggested. "If you were actually to take a walk, which I did this week, you'd see the majority of the work is done," he said. Katz has rejected the suggestion the headaches stem from tight timelines to complete the active-transportation project, which is funded by all three levels of government -- provided all the work is completed before April. -- With files from Mary Agnes Welch bartley.kives(a)freepress.mb.ca *Pedestrian bridge for Chief Peguis Trail* A bike-and-pedestrian bridge has been added to the Chief Peguis Trail extension without increasing the council-approved $110-million project cost, North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty announced Thursday. In July, city council voted to increase the scope of the Chief Peguis public-private partnership to allow the construction of an underpass at Rothesay Avenue, as area residents feared an intersection at Rothesay might endanger pedestrians. At the same meeting, the Winnipeg Trails Association appeared before council to request a pedestrian bridge at the Northeast Pioneers Greenway, which runs parallel to Raleigh Street and Gateway Road. WTA director Janice Lukes said an intersection with the bicycle-commuter route would also be dangerous. DBF2, the construction consortium responsible for the project, came up with a way to add the bridge without increasing costs, Browaty said. "They were able to find a little more value with other aspects of the project," he said. "Everybody appreciated the Northeast Pioneers Greenway is a well-used amenity." Chief Peguis Trail is being extended east from Henderson Highway to Lagimodiere Boulevard. The city hopes to extend it west from Main Street to McPhillips Street in the coming decades as part of an effort to complete an inner ring road. -- Kives -- Beth McKechnie Workplace Commuter Options Green Action Centre 204.925.3772 www.greenactioncentre.ca Green Action Centre is a registered charity.

WFP: Inspired to have only good and great days on my bike (Sept.22'10)
by Beth McKechnie 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

*Winnipeg Free Press* Inspired to have only good and great days on my bike By: Margo Goodhand I've been inspired by a lot of people these days. Collectively, they are the reason I ride two wheels to work now instead of four. One of them, longtime *Free Press* colleague and cycling enthusiast Jon Thordarson, has been on my mind ever since I dragged the bike out of the basement. He took it up years ago before he started battling cancer, but I think cycling kept him strong through some extraordinarily dark days. When he finally succumbed this spring, his brother and cycling colleagues attended the wake in his honour in their bright yellow cycling jerseys. Jon is famous for scoffing at whiners with a "You're not made of sugar." And he toughed out that five-year fight with cancer like he toughed out a long-distance race with just one lung. He led by example, a life of courage and singular grace, fiercely optimistic, kind, generous. He never proselytized. He always said there were "only good days and great days." Other cyclists have inspired by example. My kids' beloved elementary schoolteacher Andrea Stuart, who has the shape and the vitality to be a rolling advertisement for 'active transport', commuted every day for years. When I marvelled at her commitment, she simply said she loved it. Many of my Wolseley neighbours cycle to work every day, and I always admired them as I clambered, frazzled, into my car. Then I started running into colleagues who were also leading by example: *Free Press* reporter Geoff Kirbyson; page designer Leesa Dahl; publisher Bob Cox; copy editor David Fuller, photographer Wayne Glowacki. The head of U of W's trendy new Global College, Marilou McPhedran, who doesn't even own a car. The smart and sassy U of W prof Shannon Sampert, who is also a pretty impressive "biker chick" on the weekends. My impoverished son (who points out that he "didn't exactly have a choice"), last June took up a 40-minute cycling commute to his new workplace and is now in the best shape of his life. None of them proselytized. None of them told me cycling to work would give me more energy, more strength, less stress, and make each day a little more fun. I'm not nearly so subtle. I tell anybody who laughs at my bike-helmeted head that this is a no-brainer. It takes an extra 15 minutes to get to work by bike -- in total, a 30-minute ride. But that extra 15 minutes on my morning commute works out to an hour of exercise and fresh air every day. An hour I didn't have to pay to go to a gym, or work out in my basement, or try to tack something on to an already long day. I can get even more sanctimonious. I am saving city roads, lessening traffic noise and pollution, not using up non-renewable resources such as oil or gas. Laugh at my helmet hair if you wish, but I am following in the panniered path of a lot of smart, interesting, healthy people. It might be catching on. Comment editor Gerald Flood was checking out my bike the other day. Some colleagues have asked about my route. Two very dear friends tried out the new Bishop Grandin 'active transportation' trail last weekend, and both said they were trying to map out safe and not-too-scary cycling routes to their jobs. I've vowed to stay on my bike as long as my other inspiration, buddy Diane Skogstad -- who last year commuted to the end of October, and was back in the saddle by April. I feel younger, stronger and more alive on a bike. I like to think that's how Jon felt, too. On windy days, I tell myself I'm just getting a better workout. On rainy days, I say I'm not made of sugar. And on bad days? There are no bad days. Only good days and great. margo.goodhand(a)freepress.mb.ca -- Beth McKechnie Workplace Commuter Options Green Action Centre 204.925.3772 www.greenactioncentre.ca Green Action Centre is a registered charity.

New study - rapid transit reduces body mass
by Beth McKechnie 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

The Effect of Light Rail Transit on Body Mass Index and Physical Activity Background: The built environment can constrain or facilitate physical activity. Most studies of the health consequences of the built environment face problems of selection bias associated with confounding effects of residential choice and transportation decisions. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that improving neighborhood environments and increasing the public's use of LRT systems could provide improvements in health outcomes for millions of individuals. http://www.ajpm-online.net/article/S0749-3797%2810%2900297-7/fulltext (Am J Prev Med 2010;39(2):105-112) © 2010 American Journal of Preventive Medicine
