Board members of the Norwood Flats Residents’ Association want everyone in the community to have the chance to take a survey about the city’s 2021 enhanced summer bike program.

This survey also contains a number of questions about the Open Streets program, through which vehicular access to certain streets, like Lyndale Drive, was limited from May to November.

This survey is currently online on the City of Winnipeg’s website. Board member and local resident Leonie Stranc told The Lance recently that residents may not realize that the survey is also gathering feedback on the Open Streets program. Those community members who would prefer a paper copy of the survey can call 204-986-4243 to request one. She said the survey should take about five minutes to complete and the deadline for survey responses is Fri, Dec. 17. The feedback will be presented in a report to city council next year.

“In this cycling survey, the City of Winnipeg is also looking for feedback on whether to continue to limit motor vehicle traffic to one block on Open Streets until permanent cycling infrastructure has been decided,” Stranc said. “As far as I am aware, there is currently no time frame for the cycling infrastructure plan to be completed. Our local ‘open street’ is Lyndale Drive, which had vehicular traffic limited to one block from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. between May and November this year,” she added.
