For all you Taylor swift fans, Bomber fans, summer PHD students or a combination of all three (perhaps?)...<div><br></div><div><b>VIDEO: </b><a href="http://vimeo.com/64786226">http://vimeo.com/64786226</a></div><div>Pembina @ Chevrier to Investors Group Stadium first-person perspective...2X speed. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Feel free to share. </div><div><br></div><div>This was taken yesterday. In it, you can see how the buffered bike lane functions and can see how the innovative bus stop details work. </div><div>It also shows an interim access point to the old golf course off D&#39;Arcy. </div>
<div>Note that this represents a &quot;before&quot; or &quot;interim&quot; video, and you will see that some of the finer details on Pembina - like detectable paving stones and proper maintenance - or smooth direct access through the old golf course  - are still in the works.</div>
<div>(The construction of the bike lane was nearing completion in November last year before a big snowfall....The U of M is still finalizing its interim access work plan through the recently opened Southwood Lands.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am sharing this video because there is now a viable separated alternative to Pembina HWY for those wishing to cycle to the U of M. Folks can try it now. </div><div>For me, it is already a HUGE improvement to the jockeying, buzzing and squishing that used to go on in this section.</div>
<div>Soon I suspect that it will be even better. </div><div><br></div><div>Wayfinding for this route is still be a bit tricky, so carefully note the linkage using the Ten Thousand Villages entrance and the left turn technique on Plaza, for example.</div>
<div>It may take a trip or two for the uninitiated to know where exactly to go, so hopefully this video will help. </div><div>Note that from Pembina @ Chevrier north (not shown in video), there is a winding, but pleasant alternative to Pembina in the adjacent neigbourhood for those coming from points to the Northeast. </div>
<div>It goes from Riverside near Jubilee and the BRT pathway to Chevrier/Pembina. </div><div>See last year&#39;s <a href="http://www.winnipeg.ca/publicworks/MajorProjects/ActiveTransportation/maps_images/2012-Cycling-Map-South.pdf">Winnipeg Cycling Map</a> for more info on that section for now. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I will take another video when some of the finishing touches have been made for comparison&#39;s sake.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Anders</div><div><br></div><div>BTW...this may perhaps be misleadingly labeled as a &quot;before&quot; video.</div>
<div>Really it should probably say &quot;in progress&quot;. </div><div>If anyone has an actual &quot;before&quot; video of this section, I would LOVE to see it. </div><div>I am kicking myself for not doing so. </div><div>
