Thrilled to be a part of the team working on the City of Winnipeg's West Alexander to East Exchange Corridor project. As bike week approached's you will all get a chance to provide some feedback on the proposed design options at a number of events. Details are on the Bike Week event page, but I have pasted them below as well.
Hope to see a few of you on the bike ride :)

As part of the *West Alexander to East Exchange Corridor*, the City of Winnipeg is looking at options to improve the existing painted bike lanes on McDermot Avenue and Bannatyne Avenue to protected infrastructure so that they are comfortable for people of all ages and abilities.
