Hi Everyone, 

Our Active and Safe Routes to School program is working with the schools as part of this exciting City of Winnipeg project. Please share this information, complete the survey, and participate on social media. You can find the full details here

This project will look at options to encourage walking and cycling for people of all ages and abilities through the creation of a neighbourhood greenway along Ruby Street and Banning Street to link the Wolseley and West Alexander neighbourhoods. Ruby Street and Banning Street provide an important north-south connection between Palmerston Avenue and Notre Dame Avenue and beyond.

We want to hear from you!

We want to learn from you about what is important to you as we move forward with the project. This will occur initially to identify strengths, barriers and issues around mobility and traffic safety in the neighbourhood. Once options have been developed we will share them with you and request your feedback.

Tag your photos

Join the conversation about the Wolseley to West Alexander corridor by sharing your photos as you walk and bike along the route. Tag them with #WalkBikeWPG, #Wolseley, #WestEndWPG and whatever you'd like us to know about the picture. Use as many tags as you want to get specific, including locations like #BanningST or #ElliceST, conversational tags like #BikeWPG and #WalkWPG, or descriptions like #MoreLikeThis or #EasierCrossing.

The project team will be monitoring the hashtags and compiling the results until May 19th.
