We all know that getting into, out of, or around Fort Garry on a bike can be a bit of a challenge, but that’s set to change over the next 2-3 years. Construction projects (both major and minor) and studies are lined up across Fort Garry that will make it a lot easier to get around the neighbourhood on your bike. It’s a change we’re thrilled to see, and one we want to share with you.
Join Bike Winnipeg, Councillors Jenny Gerbasi and John Orlikow, and MLA James Allum on a ride through Fort Garry and Linden Woods where you will:

• Learn about the cycling facilities planned as part of ongoing and planned construction projects in Fort Garry:
  • Southwest Rapid Transit Corridor
  • Waverley Underpass
  • Chevrier Reconstruction
  • Bishop Grandin Crossing Development
  • Pembina Highway Buffered Bike Lanes
• See how these projects build on the existing bike network;
• See where we still need to extend the network to ensure that everyone gets connected;
• Learn about opportunities to influence the continuing development of the bicycle network in Fort Garry and Linden Woods
  • East Fort Garry Study
  • Bishop Grandin Greenway AT Bridge over Pembina
