Winnipeg pedestrian and cycling strategies

Winnipeg is a vibrant and growing community in the heart of the Canadian prairies. As the provincial capital and the largest city in Manitoba, the 660,000 residents who currently call Winnipeg home represent 60% of Manitoba’s total population. Winnipeg and the Manitoba Capital Region are growing at a pace we have not seen in several decades. Our economy is booming as businesses takes advantage of Winnipeg’s unique trade position in North America. Consequently, we are welcoming more new Winnipeg residents, seeking the opportunities the region is presenting. Once here, residents are discovering a range of housing choices, livable communities and opportunities to be civically engaged – all things that have always brought great pride to Winnipeggers. By 2031, it is projected that Winnipeg and the surrounding areas will be approaching one million residents. This growth will place increasing pressures on our transportation system. As a response to these challenges, Winnipeg has reviewed its long term development plans, which shape and influence Winnipeg’s Pedestrian and Cycling Strategies.
