What is the Local Motion Pilot Project?
It's a unique collaboration between the City and one neighbourhood to transform that neighbourhood into a more EcoMobile community. Parkallen has been chosen to be the host neighbourhood and will be involved in the design of the project, which may include:
•Special events
•Workshops or “Learn To…” programs
•Public Transit incentives
•Community Bikes or a Bike Loan program
•Temporary physical changes, e.g. adding bike lanes
•The pilot neighbourhood will be featured during the 2009 ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability World Congress to be held in Edmonton June 14-18, 2009.

City adds 2,000 new Bixi bikes
CBC News, July 3
The City of Montreal announced Friday it’s expanding the Bixi bike-rental program several months earlier than expected.
By the end of the summer, the city plans to have 100 new bike stations and about 2,000 new communal bikes available to people in five new neighbourhoods, including Park Extension, Mercier/Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, and parts of Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
This will bring the total number of Bixi bikes to 5,000, spread out over 400 stations across the city.

Judging from the hue and cry that arises whenever anything they do makes the news, it would appear some Winnipeggers continue to harbour a deep resentment towards cyclists.
This attitude makes no sense, of course; cycling is an activity that should be encouraged for all sorts of exceedingly obvious reasons -- it's environmentally sustainable, it gets people physically active, it helps alleviate traffic congestion, etc., etc.
Yet animosity clearly exists. Irrational though it may be (at times confoundingly so), it exists. Bring up the topic of cycling in any public forum and I guarantee you'll encounter it.
