Perimeter should be a full freeway, or at least have some diamond interchanges put up at Highway 3, St Mary's, Pipeline, etc.
As far as I know, there aren't even firm target dates for the 59/101 or 16/1 interchanges.

From what I've heard and others on here as well, the cost of flooding over the last number of years has put these projects on hold indefinitely. People continue to lose their lives at those locations, such a disgrace to this province.
