From the Assiniboine? It runs right through a residential area north of Grant, and would require expropriation of hundreds of houses (every single one on both sides) to upgrade the existing corridor all the way to a freeway.
An alternative corridor does exists just to the east (the abandoned rail corridor which has a few developed spots it appears), but it only allows for an ROW of about 25m wide - barely enough for a 4-lane freeway but requiring expropriation for interchanges. Widening beyond 4 lanes requires expropriation - removal of one side allows for an ROW up to 65m.
