The City is responsible for all the remainder of the streets within its boundary's.
This way the feds operate a major north/south and east/west highway in the Province. The Province then handles all major hwy trucking routes in the Winnipeg metro area.
Just my 2 cents.

I would also put the Perimeter Highway under the Federal government, as it is important as the only high-speed bypass of the city. The whole Perimeter is currently a core route of the NHS.
