WINNIPEG --
A new pilot project will be forcing Winnipeggers driving on some of the city’s greenways to slow down.
The pilot project, set to begin in the summer, will lower the speed limit to 30 km/h on Eugenie Street, which serves as a cycling connector to Downtown. Four other Winnipeg greenways will also be involved in the pilot project, including:
Roch Street from Poplar Avenue to Leighton Avenue;
Warsaw Avenue from Thurso Street to Pembina Highway;
Machray Avenue from Fife Street to Main Street; and
Powers Street from Dufferin Avenue to Partridge Avenue.
“What greenways are, or what they’re meant to be, are places where people are encouraged to cycle to avoid the heavier traffic streets,” said Coun. Matt Allard
