Bike lane funding sought

Winnipeg Sun, February 9

The city will seek funding for a new bike lane on Pembina Highway just north of Bishop Grandin Boulevard.

The public works and infrastructure re-newal committee voted unanimously Tuesday to direct city staff to look for available funding in the existing budget to create the active transportation path on a stretch of Pembina between Chevrier Boulevard and Plaza Drive slated for resurfacing.

The recommendation for the path, projected to cost about $650,000, was supported by St. Norbert Coun. Justin Swandel and several delegations at the meeting Tuesday.
