Neighbourhood Greenway Reduced Speed Pilot
Neighbourhood greenways are on-street routes designated to comfortably and safely move both cyclists and pedestrians and motor vehicles. Greenways typically include a range of treatments from low-impact things like signage, bike signals, and pavement markings to varying degrees of traffic calming including a best-practice speed limit of 30 km/h.
Winnipeg currently has 11 greenways, all of which operate with a speed limit of 50 km/h. The pilot has been in place since summer 2021 on four existing neighbourhood greenways:
- Eugenie Street from St. Mary’s Road to Youville Street [see design details]
- Warsaw Avenue from Thurso Street to Pembina Highway [see design details]
- Machray Avenue from Fife Street to Main Street [see design details]
- Powers Street from Dufferin Avenue to Partridge Avenue [see design details]
Please note: this project is different from the Council-approved Enhanced Summer Bike Route Program which is in effect from May-October. Learn more here.

Eugenie Street is an existing east-west neighbourhood greenway in the St. Boniface ward. It parallels Marion and Goulet Streets and connects to existing neighbourhood greenways on Youville Street and Edgewood and Tremblay Street/pedestrian bridge over the Seine River. It serves as an important cycling connector from southeast Winnipeg to Downtown.
Planned traffic calming treatments include reducing the posted speed limit, installing speed humps, and providing enhanced pedestrian crossings of Tache Avenue and Des Meurons Street.[select map to enlarge]

Machray Avenue is an existing east-west neighbourhood greenway in the Mynarski ward. The route parallels Inkster Boulevard and connects to an existing neighbourhood greenway on Powers Street. This route serves as an important cycling connector in northwest Winnipeg and will represent the connection between the planned Northwest Hydro Corridor that parallels McPhillips Street and neighbourhoods to the east including Downtown.

Powers Street is an existing north-south neighbourhood greenway in the Mynarski ward. The route parallels Salter Street and connects to existing neighbourhood greenways on Machray and Flora Avenues. This route serves as an important cycling connector in northwest Winnipeg.
Planned traffic calming treatments include reducing the posted speed limit, installing speed humps, providing an enhanced pedestrian crossing at Mountain Avenue and closing the medians on Burrows Avenue and Inkster Boulevard to motor vehicles while still permitting bicycles and pedestrians.

Powers Street is an existing north-south neighbourhood greenway in the Mynarski ward. The route parallels Salter Street and connects to existing neighbourhood greenways on Machray and Flora Avenues. This route serves as an important cycling connector in northwest Winnipeg.
Planned traffic calming treatments include reducing the posted speed limit, installing speed humps, providing an enhanced pedestrian crossing at Mountain Avenue and closing the medians on Burrows Avenue and Inkster Boulevard to motor vehicles while still permitting bicycles and pedestrians.
Implications of the median closures would limit through vehicle movements on Powers Street at these intersections as well as all left turns at the intersections. Reduced motor vehicle movements at the intersections reduces conflict points for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the busier streets and lowers vehicle volumes on Powers Street. There may be implications of disrupted travel patterns due to the turning and through movement restrictions at these intersections which may result in slightly longer travel times.
