(Justin Fraser/CBC)Jennifer Chen, a Winnipeg School Division school board trustee for Ward 6, was also at the gathering on Tuesday. She says she's a "big advocate" for the 30 km/h zone and active transportation route in the area.

Chen says she's still discussing the details of the potential pilot with the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg School Division board.
