And empower people to travel by their preferred mode
So, that means Portage and Main will allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross?
It’s looking more likely - Gillingham reversed his position on that back in March.
The documentation included here doesn’t seem to indicate the plan for Portage & Main one way or the other.
TRANSPORTATON 2050 defines reimagined mobility as a transportation system where:
- Half of trips are made using sustainable mobility options
- Sustainable transportation is the most desirable option for everyday travel
- An efficient network provides access and mobility to both people and goods
- People of all ages and abilities to safely move around without experiencing death or serious injury
To put reimagination into practice, the plan sets four targets:
- Economic prosperity: Goods can move efficiently by air, rail, and truck, ensuring support for economic growth
- Mode share: Winnipeggers make 50 percent of trips by walking, cycling, transit and ride sharing by 2050
- Road safety: Achieve a 20 percent reduction in fatal and serious injury collisions by 2026
- Accessibility and equity: The transportation system is designed and built to be accessible and affordable to all Winnipeggers
To reach these targets, TRANSPORTATION 2050 provides a roadmap that will allow us to:
- Prioritize maintaining existing infrastructure over building new infrastructure
- Make strategic investments to move more people and goods using the roads we have
- Support development of complete communities where people can access their daily needs within a short distance
- And empower people to travel by their preferred mode
