Downtown Winnipeg Cycling

[click map to change region]

Welcome to the future of cycling in Downtown Winnipeg. We want to identify problems and find their solutions to eliminate barriers and to create a paradise for people who choose cycling as a fun, healthy and sustainable form of transportation.

This "Google Group" was created to keep an open dialogue, to keep a record of our progress and to share important information relevant to our area.

Request for YOUR Input as a Cyclist

Neighbourhood Cycling stewardship groups throughout the city have been pointing out specific locations areas where relatively simple changes in infrastructure design will make a big difference. The list is being used by the City of Winnipeg's Active Transportation Advisory Committee to identify, prioritize and implement on-the-ground changes.

The latest updated list is posted here: http://www.onegreencity.com/version2.0/spotfixes_updated.xls

Thanks to you, it is an excellent source of ideas and solutions and offers warnings of areas to avoid. New additions are encouraged. Please post your idea to the appropriate area's group and it will be added. ( If you've already suggested something and it is missing, please contact info@onegreencity.com. )

Note: If it is a really easy fix, (like a pothole or unswept curb lane), please call 986-ROAD.
