Sherbrook St bike lane is in jeopardy

 

On June 8th, the City of Winnipeg’s City Centre Community Committee will be deciding on a motion to remove the stretch of Sherbrook between Ellice and Cumberland from the city’s Active Transportation Network. If this motion is successful, it would block the installation of a part-time bike lane (7:00 AM to 7:30 PM) on this critical stretch of roadway that serves as a vital connection to the Health Sciences Centre.

 

Please contact your City Councilor today and let them know that you support the proposed bike lanes on Sherbrook and Maryland.

 

Complete details -- including City Councillor contact information, postcards, a petition, and the reasons why the entire Sherbrook bike lane is important
