Being pedestrian in Winnipeg not for faint of heart

In a recent column for the Winnipeg Free Press, Erna Buffie examines the challenges of navigating Winnipeg as a pedestrian. Despite city reports advocating for a 'mode shift' to encourage walking, cycling, and public transit, the author argues that current infrastructure and urban planning make the city inhospitable for those outside of vehicles. The piece highlights the disconnect between municipal policy goals and the daily reality faced by residents attempting to travel without cars.
