I'm pretty sure the parking on the east side of Harrow at Harrow <br> School is primarily used by teachers.

Jackie would probably be up on this.

I am assuming that the parking bay was added to maintain the existing <br> parking in front of the school, but I think that is dangerous as is as <br> the main users would be parents dropping off children.  One point of <br> clarification, when I say I would want the parking moved to Ebby, I mean <br> the section of Ebby between Harrow and Stafford across from the school,

Good points. But are these parking bays meant to be drop-off/loading <br> zones? I think there is currently parking along the east side of Harrow, <br> isn't there, so this may be an effort to accommodate parking rather than <br> intended as a drop-off zone. I think the situation is the same on Harrow <br> adjacent to Kelvin High School. Maybe it is thought to be safer to have

In thinking about the parking bays on Harrow, it seems to me that they <br> make no sense.  Presumably, the idea is to provide a space for <br> parents to drop off their children.  If that's the case, we should <br> be considering how the students will get to the school once dropped off <br> (note that I am leaving out the whole issue of having parents drop off

Jeremy, <br> I also forgot to respond about the &quot;Future Path Along <br> Taylor&quot;.  When reviewing the 2010 Capital Works budget, ATAC <br> had requested that a cycle track on the westbound side of Taylor be <br> considered as part of rehabilitations taking place on Taylor.  I <br> don't know what the status of this is.  I mentioned it at the

HI Jeremy, <br> The section of bike path on Harrow between Taylor and Pembina is meant to <br> be a one-way cycle track.  Cyclists would be reintegrated with <br> traffic prior to Taylor.  I don't think it's necessary, and am not <br> sure it's better than a bike lane.  They seem to have it starting <br> after the intersection with Pembina, which is very weird.  I don't

Good comments Mark. I'm very impressed that you have actually gone out <br> there with a tape measure to check road widths at various points. From what <br> you say we should be reminding the engineers to do this whenever they are <br> doing their plans, and the city should be providing this kind of detail to <br> the engineers, if they're not already.

Hi, <br> I've been holding off on replying to this until I had a chance to see the <br> diagrams (I missed the open house).  I had a brief look at these <br> last night, and agree that the 1.5m bike lane next to a 2.5m parking lane <br> on Grosvenor is unacceptable.  A good comparison is the section of <br> Garry between Broadway and Assiniboine.  There, the parking lane is

Hi, <br> * <br> * <br> This is the official invitation to a meeting that was referred to earlier. <br> * <br> * <br> If you are a local resident, or if you who travel on foot, by bike or in a <br> wheelchair through Omand's Creek Park, you may be particularly interested in <br> attending the following official Open House on the Omand Park Bridge

I took a look at these maps and generally like what is being planned. But <br> there is the concern that Charles raises about the bike lane on the north <br> side of Grosvenor next to parked cars - is there adequate clearance? They <br> have allowed 2.5 meters for parked cars plus 1.5 meters for the bike lane. <br> I measured the total width of my Dodge Caravan with one door open, and it is

Detailed maps from the open houses are now up as well.

Jeremy, <br> There is now *some* visual information online. Unfortunately, what they've <br> posted is painted with a very broad brush (not much better than lines on a <br> map), and lack any of the detail that would explain Charles' comments: <br> <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.winnipeg.ca/publicworks/MajorProjects/ActiveTransportation/HikeItBikeItLikeIt.asp">[link]</a>
