Winnipeggers asked for feedback on design of bike lane system

 The City of Winnipeg says it is committed to developing a pedestrian and cycling network that is safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities, and staff want your feedback.

Winnipeggers are invited to check out the design options for the downtown bike lane system and West Alexander pedestrian and cycling corridor projects.

Drop-in public events will allow people to view proposed design options, provide feedback and speak with the project teams.

Anyone unable to attend the pop-up events can visit the city's interactive website where design options can be viewed, comments can be posted on a discussion board and feedback can be provided through an online survey.
