It will be two more months before the City of Winnipeg finishes a plan to install a temporary bike lane along Wellington Crescent.<\/p>\n

The design for a protected bike lane will come before city council in April, instead of this month, after the city’s public works department asked for more time to solicit feedback from the public.<\/p>\n

In a report to council’s public works committee<\/a>, Winnipeg transportation manager David Patman said his department needs to finish public consultations that were delayed by the Canada Post strike last fall.<\/p>\n

Transportation managers have also made changes to the design based on some initial feedback, the committee was told on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The bike lane can still be installed during the 2026 construction season, Patman said in his report.<\/p>\n

Commuter cyclists have been pushing for a permanent protected bike lane along Wellington Crescent since June 2024, when Rob Jenner, 61, was killed on Wellington in a hit-and-run collision while he was commuting to work by bike.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old driver who lost control of his speeding car and hit Jenner was sentenced last March<\/a> to three years behind bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-454444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
