On June 8th, the City of Winnipeg's City Centre Community Committee will be deciding on a motion to remove the stretch of Sherbrook between Ellice and Cumberland from the city's Active Transportation Network. If this motion is successful, it would block the installation of a part time bike lane (7:00am - 7:30pm) on this critical stretch of roadway that serves as a vital connection to the Health Sciences Complex.
Ther Sherbrook/Maryland corridor is a key spoke in the city's AT network, accounting for up to 2000 bicycle trips a day. The proposed bike lanes on Maryland/Sherbrook will be a significant benefit for cyclists, increasing cyclist safety and comfort. But the benefits don't stop there. By encouraging more people to choose their bike over their car, the Sherbrook bike lane will leave more money to be spent on housing, food and recreation within our community. And that benefits everyone!
As my city councillor, I urge you to PLEASE support bike lanes on Sherbrook. On June 8th, please vote AGAINST the motion to remove the section of Sherbrook (between Ellice and Cumberland) from the cycling network.

I have been reviewing the recent feedback regarding the Sherbrook project and the stories shared here underscore why this infrastructure is so vital for our daily navigation. Behind the scenes I am preparing a formal brief to present our perspective to the city council members who oversee traffic planning.

Seeing the growing momentum for this corridor shows how many people truly rely on safe and accessible routes to reach their daily destinations. This collective energy is a clear reminder that our community values infrastructure that supports health and practical mobility.

Stop listening to the loud minority who dont want it. Most of us want to be able to ride a bike without getting hit by a truck.
Sherbrook is scary to ride on. Do it already.
I used to bike here all the time but stopped bc of how dangerous cars drive. Please build the lanes so I can get back on my bike.
SO NEEDED. riding my bike to work down that street is literally taking my life in my hands every single morning.
Make it happen. We need safer streets for everyone not just people in cars.

Finally. The traffic on Sherbrook is a nightmare for cyclists, this is way overdue.
