I encourage you to attend an upcoming open house and comment on the ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ASPECT of the 'Event Day Management Plan' being presented over the next few days by the City of Winnipeg, U of M and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and BBB Stadium Incorporated. 
 
 
The City of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba and Government of Canada have invested $10's of Millions into Active Transportation (AT) infrastructure in south Winnipeg enabling some of the City's best cycling and walking connectivity. 
 
This is an unprecedented opportunity to showcase AT investment's as a viable transportation choice -  and to encourage and reap the benefits of active transportation in an environment challenged by limited vehicle parking:    
 
-  it is important these AT investments be shown as TRANSPORTATION CHOICES in 'The Stadium Event Day Management Plan'
-  it is important that ENCOURAGEMENT through marketing and promotional plans for AT be incorporated into ' 'The Stadium Event Day Management Plan'    ie: similar to the marketing and promotional plans put in place around taking transit to a football game
 
 
Please take some time to attend one of these open houses - and offer your comments related to the ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ASPECT of the 'Event Day Management Plan'
