Installing but OSMnx in new Environment: Fiona Error-- module 'fiona' has no attribute '_loading'

Question

I am installing OSMnx in a new environment following the steps from Geoffboeing's site: https://geoffboeing.com/2017/02/python-getting-started/

After activating the environment and importing the OSMnx module, it gives me the error of fiona

AttributeError: module 'fiona' has no attribute '_loading'

I am trying to install OSMnx past a week but still couldn't

1. Installed only from one channel Conda forge
2. This is fresh, installed anaconda all over again
3. So, no old modules clashing
4. New environment

Before going any further with installation of single module separately then causing version clashes between GDAL & others. I want to ask if anybody has a solution or how can I do it?

I took care of almost all measures but still no to avail. I am new to this and I am not sure with downloading .whl files and stuff.

Here, is my conda list in this environment

Python Version is: Python 3.9.0 (in that environment)

Thank you in advance.

If you want to install OSMnx, just follow its current documented installation instructions. Blog posts can fall out-of-date over the years.
