In a social media post, the City of Brandon said “This spring, we engaged with citizens on the 26th Street Project through two in-person events, as well as a survey to gather feedback on this project. We received 302 survey responses, along with comments – both online and in-person.
From this, we heard that 54% of respondents support the development of bike lanes.
What we are doing:
• City Administration is now attempting to include community feedback into the design of 26th St. Unfortunately, no single design option can accommodate all comments and concerns.
• We have further engaged with Brandon School Division administration to discuss perceived safety issues and student movement options.
Next steps:
• City administration is preparing a report for City Council’s review.
• Engineering intends to meet with the Brandon School Division to review the proposed detailed design.
• Communication with the residents of 26th Street on proposed changes and revised project timelines.
• City Council to adopt 26th St Project recommendation.
