New Opportunities for Engagement with the City of Winnipeg Public Engagement Question of the Week 4 – Have you participated before?  This summer, we are asking how and why you engage. Please take a moment to answer and give us some guidance to prioritize our efforts with improving public engagement. Have you ever participated in public engagement organized by the City of Winnipeg?   ☐ Yes    ☐ No   If Yes, how was your experience? If No, is there a reason why you have not participated? Answer Now Results from Question of the Week 3 We received over 200 responses to our third question. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Accountability was the top principle that mattered most to respondents. We also heard from many respondents that all of the principles are important and must be applied together in order to achieve meaningful public engagement.  Other principles you provided included: community ownership, partnership, honesty, integrity, ethics, empowerment, credibility, authenticity, and reliability. Adjustable Bike Lane Curbs Pilot This week, the City installed adjustable bike lane curbs in two locations to test installation methods, monitor maintenance, and assess the comfort level of users. The adjustable bike lane curbs were installed on Sherbrook Street south of Cumberland Avenue and on a section of Bannatyne Avenue next to Old Market Square for a nine-month pilot. For more information, to fill out a survey, or to view a map of the changes online, please visit winnipeg.ca/walkbikeprojects and select an adjustable bike lane curbs project. The survey will be open for the duration of the pilot project.  Ongoing Opportunities for Engagement with the City of Winnipeg Back-in, Angled Parking Pilot Survey The City of Winnipeg is exploring ways to increase available on-street parking in the Exchange District.

Winnipeg Canoe Club Golf Course Survey Winnipeggers are being asked to help reimagine the future of the Winnipeg Canoe Club Golf Course. In April 2019, the current lease of the course to a private operator will expire. The City of Winnipeg is seeking feedback from the public to find out how the space is currently used, and whether or not the public supports another golf course lease, or the creation of a mixed-use recreational space that includes additional services. Winnipeggers are encouraged to provide input through an online survey. The survey will be open until September 1, 2017. Later this year, citizens will be encouraged to attend a public workshop to review and refine several different recreational concepts.
