AT Open House: Nassau Bikeway
6:00 to 8:00 PM
The public is invited to an Open House regarding the City of Winnipeg's 2010 Active Transportation Program.
This session is an opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas on the proposed changes to Nassau Street. The Nassau Street Bikeway is a new 1.5 km long bike boulevard that, in conjunction with the Fleet/Warsaw and Harrow Bikeways, will serve to connect the River Heights and Fort Rouge neighbourhoods to the Downtown.
In December, 2009, Winnipeg City Council approved $20.4 million in capital funding to support an extensive active transportation network throughout the city. The funding comes from the three levels of government (the City, Province and Federal governments each contributing one-third, or $6.8 million). This active transportation program involves the creation of 35 projects that range from multi-use pathways to bike boulevards. When this program is completed by the end of this year, Winnipeggers will be able to access 375 km of active transportation routes.
