Coun. Janice Lukes put rubber to the road on a fast-tracked downtown bike grid this week.

After a well-attended forum http://www.metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/2016/10/13/winnipeg-forum-planned-for-bike-grid-discussion.html proved there's interest in speeding up the cycling network, Lukes drummed up a pitch for a “downtown grid of adjustable bicycle lanes before the end of 2018.” She presented it to the Riel community committee on Monday.

The motion has been forwarded to the infrastructure renewal and public works (IRPW) committee for further consideration at its Nov. 29 meeting.
