A presentation to Moncton council on the proposed downtown centre has been postponed for two weeks after city manager Jacques Dubé was injured in a hit-and-run cycling incident over the weekend.

Moncton's city manager Jacques Dubé is expected to be off work for a week after being injured in a cycling accident. (CBC) Dubé was cycling near Magnetic Hill on Sunday at about 4:30 p.m. when he was struck by a vehicle, said city spokeswoman Isabelle LeBlanc.

The driver of the vehicle fled the scene, she said.

Dubé sustained minor injuries and is expected to be off work for about a week, said LeBlanc.

The presentation has been rescheduled for the May 19 regular council meeting.

Anyone with information about the hit and run is asked to call the RCMP, said LeBlanc.

Meanwhile, Dubé is encouraging motorists to be extra vigilant now that the outdoor cycling season is underway, LeBlanc said.
