The City of Winnipeg's Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC) has begun the input process for recommending projects to be undertaken in 2009. We already have an official map (that isn't perfect) and a long list of big projects to complete. However, we want to make sure we aren't overlooking simple fixes, leaving out an obvious priority, or focusing on long routes for way-finding, but then forgetting specific problem areas that are dangerous and could fixed right away.

We want your help.

We are looking for specific design issues that pose a danger to cyclists, or little things that, if designed well, would simply make life easier. The more accurately you describe the situation and your solution, the more likely it will become reality.

So, if you have an idea, please go to www.onegreencity.com, click on the area of the map that your idea pertains to, join the Google Group for that area of the city, and post your idea. Alternatively, you can send your idea to contact@biketothefuture.org, and we'll post it, but then you won't be able to see discussion about your idea (which hopefully generates other ideas).
