Public Consultations
for AT
infrastructure
In December 2009, Winnipeg City Council
approved $20.4 million in capital funding to support an extensive active
transportation network throughout the city. The funding comes from the three levels of government. This active
transportation program involves the creation of 35 projects that range from
multi-use pathways to bike boulevards. It is critical that the infrastructure is built to the
highest standards possible, and that it is built for everyone to
access.
5 public consultation drop-in sessions have
been scheduled during the next 11 days. Bike to the Future will be formally
submitting input, but it is vital that the City receives as much public input from cyclists as possible.
We've been assured the input will be
heard.
