At the March 4 meeting, Councillor Lukes introduced a motion to cancel the Wellington bike lane pilot project. The amending motion she put forward from the floor deleted all mention of the plan for the pilot project. It instead called for more consultation and some financial wrangling to pull forward funding for permanent infrastructure to…
Bike infrastructure builds stronger communities—it’s a low-cost, high-impact solution to affordability, housing, and health challenges. In 2021, the federal government launched the $400 million Active Transportation Fund. Another $500 million was set aside in 2024, and communities across Canada applied. But these funds are now at risk following Budget 2025. With the 2026 construction season…

Bike Winnipeg has the privilege of riding on the roads and pathways of Treaty No. 1 Territory, along the Red, Assiniboine, Seine, and LaSalle Rivers. Our work takes place on the original lands and waters of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak/Nehethowuk, Anisininew, Dakota Oyate, and Dënësułiné Peoples, as well as on the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation.
We recognize our part in the Treaty relationship and are committed to working toward mobility and environmental justice for all, on land transformed by colonialism. We commit to collaborating with Indigenous communities in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation.
As we gather in Treaty 1 Territory it is important to recognize and honour Treaty 3, in particular Shoal Lake 40 First Nation and Iskatewizaagegan (es-ka-tay-wiz-zah-gay-gun) #39 Independent First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. It is also important to recognize and honour the First Nations of Treaties 1, 3, and 5, the Land where Winnipeg sources its hydroelectric power.
