Wellington Crescent Walk Bike Project - Interim Solution - Survey

We want to make Wellington Crescent a better place for biking and walking.

Winnipeg’s Council-approved Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies identify this area as a high priority for new bike infrastructure.

The street already has a seasonal bike route west of Academy Road. It connects to the protected bike lanes on River and Stradbrook Avenues east of Academy. This makes it a popular route for both commuters and recreational riders.

Right now, the 1.2 km section between Academy Road and Stradbrook Avenue doesn’t have a dedicated, safe space for people on bikes. Cyclists share the road with four lanes of motor vehicle traffic. The speed limit is 50 km/h and many drive even faster. This can create unsafe conditions.

While we know some sort of permanent bike infrastructure is needed here, there isn’t currently funding available for it. We are installing temporary bike lanes as an interim solution.

The temporary bike lanes will stay until:

Council funds a Walk Bike study and construction through the Capital Budget process
We complete the study
Council approves a design
And, we build the new, permanent solution

We want to know how our design for temporary bike lanes could affect your day-to-day.

Your voice matters – it helps us see the full picture of how this project affects the community and what opportunities it can bring.
