Winnipeggers hoping to walk or run on the City’s Open Streets active transportation routes will need to switch to cycling or stay on the sidewalk when the initiative re-launches on over a dozen streets in May.
Last April, to encourage residents to get outside during the pandemic, the City opened its four Sunday/holiday active transportation routes for daily use. Vehicle traffic was restricted to one block at a time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Five additional routes were opened in June. This year, according to a public service report, pedestrians will have to stay off roadways due to section 143 (1) of Manitoba’s Highway Traffic Act, which prohibits pedestrians from using roads when a sidewalk is present.
