Councillor requesting bike lanes on Pembina

ST. Norbert Coun. Justin Swandel has asked city council's public works committee to consider a plan to add bike lanes to a stretch of Pembina Highway that's slated to be resurfaced.

Cyclists who commute down Pembina Highway have long complained about having to traverse a treacherous stretch of road between Plaza Drive and Chevrier Boulevard, where there are no side streets parallel to Pembina.

Adding bike lanes to this stretch would add $650,000 to a city resurfacing plan. Council's public works committee will consider this idea on Tuesday.
