BEST Winnipeg AT SIGN Ever!

Folks!!
Ok - a long long time coming - but without a doubt one of the best AT signs I've ever seen in Wpg (I know - there are not many - but - - )
For sure it is cause to celebrate on a hot Friday afternoon!
I think it went up yesterday? !
Zoom in close on the attached photo - the HUGE flashing sign located just north of the Pembina / Bishop overpass reads:
Pembina Hwy Roadwork
Plaza Drive to Chevrier
Starts July 16
Although the City of Winnipeg's Active Transportation Advisory Committee has been dissolved (we are told someday a new one will be created) cycling infrastructure ON Pembina Hwy was always the #1 ranking PRIORITY for ATAC!
Councillor Swandel made the long needed political move to bring this forward - back in January 2010: http://biketothefuture.org/attachments/0000/1394/pembinahwyat_councilorswand elmotion2010-01-18.pdf
Many of us debated with then Chair Bill Clement - Councillor Swandel navigated it through - and here we are today!!
I travel this route daily and may do a photo doc of the progress to share for those of you who aren't out as frequently.
Fantastic! This is the holy grail of trail in Winnipeg for sure!
