Cheers to Tom and Sam and company. I am on their side. This is who you force onto the sidewalk when you forget to put some decent bike lanes into every road you rebuild.
In an effort to provide secure bike parking options in Winnipeg, @BikeWinnipeg in partnership with @cityofwinnipeg Active Transportation Grant, is adopting orphaned businesses that are not part of a BIZ Zone.
@wpgeye We must consider ascetics, access routes, City bylaws, underground services, traffic patterns, visibility, security, School Division permissions and more in our advice. And in the end, it is up to the client.
@wpgeye Pouring a cement pad is cost prohibitive for most schools and businesses. Getting a safe place to lock up is the priority, and if it has to be on grass then it requires a hand shovel to clear it during the winter.
We are tremendously sad to hear of the life taken on July 29th. Being on a bike should be safe everywhere in the city (Photo: CBC, bio has link to article)
Special thanks goes to @WoodcockCycle and #winnipegrackworks for the installation of our new bike rack and bike service station @GordonBellHigh. Current student and gardening helper Elvis was the first to use. It’s available to all, located on just off our greenspace.
