The four routes being looked at to link St. Boniface to downtown Winnipeg

The City of Winnipeg wants your input on where to build new active transportation routes linking Downtown to St. Boniface.

As part of its pedestrian and cycling strategic plans, the city is looking at four options to improve accessibility from the Provencher Bridge and Esplanade Riel through to the multi-use path on Archibald Street.

The project will include improving connections to the Southeast Corridor, the Tache Promenade and through to the Notre Dame Street bridge over the Seine River.

The city is offering three possible routing options west of the Seine and one recommended route east of the Seine to Archibald Street:

• West Option A: Provencher Boulevard (as a standalone route through the area);Option A bike route (source: City of Winnipeg)
