Hi,

I just wanted to alert people to an impending decision at the City of Winnipeg's Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development – April 9, 2013to declare two parcels of land near Shaftesbury and St. Paul High Schools surplus.  You can view the agenda item here.  You can view the areas under consideration below.



As I have previously pointed out in Bike to the Future's submission before the Charleswood Transportation Study, these properties hold the potential to create a direct, high quality AT link from the existing trails into Assiniboine Park and Forest along Bower road right of Way into the South Tuxedo neighbourhood (see below).



I plan on attending the committee meeting Tuesday to ask that an easement for AT be left intact to allow for any future connection through to Bard Pl. to the south,  I will also contact the city and Councillor Havixbeck to ensure that they are aware of the potential AT connection and need to retain an easement.

Mark
