Article content Winnipeggers hoping to walk or run on the City’s Open Streets active transportation routes will need to switch to cycling or stay on the sidewalk when the initiative re-launches on over a dozen streets in May. Last April, to encourage residents to get outside during the pandemic, the City opened its four Sunday/holiday active transportation routes for daily use. Vehicle traffic was restricted to one block at a time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Five additional routes were opened in June. This year, according to a public service report, pedestrians will have to stay off roadways due to section 143 (1) of Manitoba’s Highway Traffic Act, which prohibits pedestrians from using roads when a sidewalk is present.
