A Winnipeg city councillor who has been a loud critic of the city's active transportation plan is stirring up some irony.

Jeff Browaty has put his North Kildonan house on the market and the write up for the listing notes it has a convenient location with a nice-sized park "and the active transportation path close by."

Browaty is one of a group of councillors who have voted to cut funding to bike paths. They have also paid for radio ads encouraging other councillors to vote against the active transportation plan.

The 20-year, $334-million strategy calls for expanding the city's bicycle and sidewalk network, improving bicycle parking and pedestrian and cyclist crossings, having more safe and well-lit routes, offering facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and maintaining the bicycle and sidewalk network.

In an interview with Ismaila Alfa on CBC's Up To Speed, Browaty said he's not opposed to active transportation as a whole, but doesn't approve of the cost when there are so many other projects in the city.

There are neighbourhoods in his ward that have ditches and no sidewalks. If the city wants people to be active, install some sidewalks in those areas as a start, he said.

"Start with making the right investment," Browaty said.

The active transportation plan was hotly debated at a meeting of the executive policy committee (EPC) on Wednesday before ultimately being approved. Browaty was the only one to vote against it.

His fellow councillors Russ Wyatt (Transcona) and Jason Schreyer (Elmwood-East Kildonan), who have also spoke out against the plan — calling it too expensive and, in some cases, not planned out properly — are not members of the EPC.

They'll have their chance to cast a vote when the plan goes to council for a final vote next week.
