Since bicycles need to be parked too, and since automobile parking greatly affects the ability to use the curb lane for other purposes, it would be fantastic if the cycling perspective was brought forward at these meetings and/or through the survey (which takes less than 2 minutes to complete).

The Winnipeg Parking Authority and Osborne Village BIZ are investigating the current parking situation within the Osborne Village area. This was a recommendation of the Osborne Village Neighbourhood Plan.

This study includes looking at the existing parking conditions within the Osborne Village area and proposing potential courses of action that may be taken related to the provision of parking in the area in the future.

Stakeholder input is an important component of this project.

Please come and check out the Osborne Village Parking Study's Information Sessions. Visit to discuss the current parking conditions in the Osborne Village area and look at options for addressing parking needs in the future.

There's another session on Wednesday June 23th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM in the courtyard of the Osborne Village BIZ, 103-B Osborne Street.

There is also a survey you can complete online: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OsborneVillage

As part of the survey, you can enter to win a free iPod Shuffle.
