And where would you put the stations? Winnipeg is one of the coldest cities on the planet. When you're standing in -35 C February weather you don't wanna wait outside, even if it's just for 5 to 10 minutes... underground along Portage Avenue and Main St. and through Osborne Village is the best method of keeping people warm while they wait for the train.

Make Polo Park a transit node with RT transfers to the Airport, Red River College, etc. Heck build it out to Unicity too.

The area is not really called "Unicity" it's called Assiniboia, which includes the
Crestview,
Westwood, and
St. Charles subdivisions. Assiniboia used to be a separate entity called the
Rural Municipality of Assiniboia.
However, if it were to secede from Winnipeg it would be considered more urban, so...
The City of Assiniboia.

Do the same along all our major arteries leaving DT, NIMBYs be damned. But just Do It! It's all been said before, but the longer our Gov't waits and "studies" this ad nauseum, the more expensive and inconvenient it will be to build it.
