^yup. The reason they went Rothesay over Chief, instead of vice versa, was so people and kids don't have to go under the bridge. They deem it safer for people to go over, so there is no potential for being trapped by hooligans.

The designers told me it was for pedestrian safety. Instead of going through a tunnel like structure, they went over so it's more like the street on either side. That was the reasoning.

Absolutely.

Or am I completely mistaken here :haha: |
Most if not all of the land required for the inner ring road way was acquired by the Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg who had the role of providing regional street services pre Unicity days. Some of the routes were suppose to line up with existing streets that I guess would have been widened with buyouts / expropriation.

I wonder how the costs would compare to trench Moray between Portage and Ness and leave the houses there vs expropriating everything. It would certainly go a long way towards not ruining the neighborhood.

And it's not the lowest traffic volume street right now anyway. It's like the homes on Route 90 that have to put up with the traffic and when they were built it didn't exist. Not talking about the base homes. But the older parts. And now they to will be expropriated when and IF they ever widen route 90. |

So the NDP is pledging to really speed up some infrastructure projects. Not only that but the amount promised has doubled!!!! I wonder where this money is coming from! |
The NDP is desperate and it shows. We promise to speed up projects we promised years ago and couldn't get around to doing until now.
|
It's really no different than the PCs promising to lower taxes and increase investment. No one is being realistic.
