The City's Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC) released its 2008 action plan on Friday April 25th.

The City will spend more than $3 million this year to create 70 kilometres of new bike-and-pedestrian paths and bike lanes. (See the Free Press story about it.)

Many Bike to the Future members contributed to this 2008 action plan by expending countless hours compiling ideas, doing research, and/or attending numerous ATAC meetings. These members, many of whom represent our partner organizations, include Gareth Simons (Bike to the Future), Philip Roadley (Manitoba Cycling Association), Anders Swanson (One Green City, Mayor's Environmental Advisory Committee), Janice Lukes (Winnipeg Trails Association), Beth McKechnie (Resource Conservation Manitoba), Kevin Nixon (City of Winnipeg's AT Coordinator) and many of our City Committee members. Their efforts are paying dividends.
