A Winnipeg mayoral candidate had his bike stolen less than 90 minutes after announcing a cycling infrastructure plan that included plans to reduce bike theft. Just before noon Wednesday, Rick Shone parked his truck at The Wilderness Supply, the Isabel Street retailer he owns, walked in and spoke briefly with an employee. When he returned to his truck a few minutes later, his bike had been lifted from the back of the truck. It was the same bike he took to a press conference at 10:30 am. near the Granite Curling Club, where he pledged to spend $250,000 on 500 new bike racks in Winnipeg and pledged to replace the city’s bike registration system with a national theft prevention program . “I feel so stupid,” Shawn said Wednesday afternoon. “I was in for two minutes. I got distracted by a question.” If anyone sees my orange Rossin around – I’d love it back from the person who just STOLE IT FROM ME…Alert 529 has been activated…(stolen in West End) pic.twitter.com/OyCl7h4XRX —@RickShone Sonne is the second mayoral candidate to face bicycle thefts in two days. Shaun Loney made a similar bike registration pledge on Tuesday, when he also promised to install more bike lockers in public spaces and change the city’s zoning rules to make lockers mandatory in new developments. Shawn is also the second Winnipeg mayoral candidate to report theft this August. Earlier this month, Rana Bokhari had a catalyst stolen from her campaign RV. Shone also promised Wednesday to increase the city’s annual spending on bike lanes, sidewalk improvements and pedestrian paths from about $4.3 million this year to at least $9.4 million each year. More bike routes will be converted to protected bike lanes under this program, gaps in the bike network will be filled and wayfinding signs will be upgraded to marker standards along the Southwest Transitway, he said. “We spend a lot of money building the trails, but for visitors or even people like me going to different areas of the city, it’s often very difficult to tell where you are and where you’re going,” Shone said in parallel. the protected cycleway on Granite Way, near Osborne Street;
Klein promises a quick licensing process
Winnipeg mayoral candidate Kevin Kline, meanwhile, promised Wednesday to cut red tape for small businesses and developers — and says his plan will pay for itself. The outgoing councilman for Charleswood-Tuxedo-Westwood vowed Wednesday to make sure business owners applying for permits only have to contact one city office, not multiple offices, no matter how many permits they need. Klein also promised to make sure developers don’t wait more than 90 days for building permits and demolition. Restaurants, daycare centers, public housing projects and health care providers will only have to wait 15 days for permits, he said. Klein said he hasn’t costed the plan and couldn’t say how many more city inspectors would be needed to implement it, but suggested the new revenue that would come from faster growth would cover the cost. “Any FTE [full-time-equivalent jobs] we are adding to the planning, ownership and development department will return the investment quickly to the city of Winnipeg,” Klein said in an announcement at the Exchange District location of Canadian Footwear, a footwear retailer. As it stands, developers in Winnipeg seeking to demolish buildings must present a plan to redevelop the properties. The rule was put in place to prevent the proliferation of vacant lots. Klein said he’s not concerned that eliminating that requirement could lead to more vacant lots. He said he would change a $2,500 surcharge on vacant properties each year they are vacant. Mayoral candidate Kevin Klein spoke at Canadian Footwear with owner Brian Scharfstein, left, and supporter Larry McIntosh, right. (Bartley Kives/CBC) Brian Scharfstein, who owns three Canadian Footwear locations, said he welcomed Klein’s policy announcement because he had trouble finding property for a new warehouse. Scharfestein is also a member of the Winnipeg Police Board. He said he sees no problem in holding a political event and said he has yet to endorse any mayoral candidate. “I’ve obviously had the ability, as vice-chair of the Winnipeg Police Board, to wear my hat as a board member for the police board, and when I’m on the business, I wear my professional hat,” said Sharfstein. . “I make it clear in every conversation. I’m never confused.” Klein is a former president of the police board. Klein, Shone, Loney and Bokhari are among 14 candidates running for mayor. Idris Adelakun, Chris Clacio, Scott Gillingham, Jenny Motkaluk, Glen Murray, Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Jessica Peebles, Govind Thawani, Desmond Thomas and Don Woodstock have also declared campaigns for mayor. Candidates must also complete the nomination process in September in order to appear on the ballot on Election Day in October.
The race continues at Waverley West
Voters in Waverley West now have a choice of candidates running for council. Pascal Scott, a business consultant, registered Tuesday to run in the Winnipeg south ward where Coun. Janice Lukes ran unopposed in the 2018 election. Lukes is running for a third term at mayor’s office. Now that he has an opponent, the number of seats where candidates are unopposed has dropped to four. As of Wednesday, councilors Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan), Markus Chambers (St. Norbert-Seine River), Sherri Rollins (Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry) and Devi Sharma (Old Kildonan) remained unopposed. The deadline for city council nominations is September 20. The elections take place on October 26.
