Should Wellington Crescent Get Temporary Bike Lanes?
Official title: Wellington Crescent Walk Bike Project - Interim Solution
Winnipeg wants to build temporary bike lanes on Wellington Crescent in spring 2026. The route runs from Academy Road to Stradbrook Avenue. The city is asking residents how changes to parking, traffic flow, and street access might affect them before construction begins.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Wellington Crescent? This will change how you park, get deliveries, and access your home. Bike commuters could get a safer route connecting to the existing cycling network. Drivers may see lane changes and new traffic patterns.
What Could Change
Temporary bike lanes would be installed on Wellington Crescent between Academy Road and Stradbrook Avenue. Some driving lanes and parking spots would be reconfigured. This is a pilot project—a future study will look at making the bike lanes permanent.
Key Issues
- How will changes to parking and traffic flow affect residents?
- How can loading, deliveries, and building access be maintained?
- What safety concerns need to be addressed?
