sentenced last year to three years<\/a> in prison.<\/p>\nSavannah Shore told councillors Jenner’s death has made many cyclists afraid to ride on city streets.<\/p>\n
“Changes need to be made before anyone else loses their life to senseless speeding,” Shore said.<\/p>\n
Shore said she and Jenner worked together at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and the loss still affects her.<\/p>\n
“Rob Jenner was my colleague. We parked our bikes next to each other in the loading dock at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I have not ridden my bike to work again since he was killed.”<\/p>\n
City staff estimate the temporary project would cost about $400,000. The lanes would remain in place until permanent infrastructure is built.<\/p>\n
But Lukes wants $5.9 million earmarked for permanent bike lanes moved into this year’s budget, with construction potentially happening in 2027.<\/p>\n
“It’s going to be a fundamental change in the way traffic moves \u2014 pedestrian, cycling and vehicular traffic in this section,” the Waverley West councillor said. “And I want to rip the Band-Aid off once.”<\/p>\n
WATCH | Advocates call for temporary bike lanes on Wellington:![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1772671569_558_default.jpg\")

Last-ditch push made for temporary bike lane project<\/p>\n
Dozens of supporters rolled into Winnipeg city hall on March 4 in a bid to get temporary bike lanes installed on a stretch of Wellington Crescent this spring.<\/p>\n
Some cycling advocates worry abandoning the temporary plan could delay safety improvements.<\/p>\n
Matthew Carvell, who lives nearby, told councillors the stretch of Wellington is currently dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.<\/p>\n
“It’s a huge gap there in the cycling network,” Carvell said. “It just seems like a very obvious fix to put in something today, because we know it’s unsafe.”<\/p>\n
Lucky Adams, another supporter of the project, said improvements are urgently needed.<\/p>\n
“People are in danger,” Adams said. “It’s urgently needed.”<\/p>\n
The temporary plan would also prohibit turning at some intersections and remove about 29 parking spaces along the corridor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 3 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-514853","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\/514853","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=514853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
