Winnipeg Cycling Map 2011
In April 2009, a new Winnipeg cycling map was unveiled. It was the result of an 8 month project partnership between Bike to the Future (BttF), the Manitoba Cycling Association (MCA), the City of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Trails Association (WTA), Climate Change Connection, One Green City, and Green Action Centre (formerly Resource Conservation Manitoba).
Two years later, after significant improvements to Winnipeg's active transportation network, a project has been implemented to update the 2009 map to reflect major AT changes since 2009.
- BttF is working with the Manitoba Cycling Association and the City of Winnipeg on this.
- Electronic data needs to be updated in the City’s GIS database in order to produce the paper map, provide info to Google Maps, and power possible iPhone and Blackberry apps.
- The paper map will be ready for Earth Day 2011 (April 22nd).
- A new feature will be regional routes. For example: to Birds Hill Park, to Headingley.
- Ted Mann is again responsible for route content on the 2011 map. He is compiling a list of content errors from the 2009 map, so cyclists can send him their observations.
