Can we handle more good news from the south end? !
Where in the city - at any event - have we ever seen so many bikes ‘park’ – bravo !!
Finally – an active transportation problem that we WANT to experience – for sure it will be fixed – but – how great!
Excerpt:
· The problem: Not enough spaces for the number of bikes.
· The solution: The number of bike spots has been increased to 650 spots from 400.
· Did it work? Not much better than it did the first time.
By ~ 7:00 the lower level Bike Valet was full!
HUGE THANKS to:
· Amanda – Winnipeg Bike Valet coordinator for running such a tight and efficient ship – – probably no longer than a 10 minute wait in either line!
· To the many many volunteers that stepped up to ensure a stellar ‘bike parking’ experience – it’s a ton of fun volunteering at these high energy events
· Liz Peters / CAA for providing 350 bike lights on short notice – we had a team handing out at the end and all were gone!
· St. Norbert BIZ Association for providing two Green Team Staff to help check bikes out
· Anders Swanson / Doug Little – for some great photography!
NEXT BOMBER GAME – Friday, July 19th! See you there!
FEEDBACK:
I’m always collecting feedback on how to make the cycling experience to and from the Investors Group Field the best it can be – please email or call if you have any info.
Received lots from last two events – and presented at the Stadium Advisory Committee meeting on Wed evening – am VERY optimistic much will be addressed this first year!
Have a super and safe long weekend.
