I was considering both of them. That area is so messy though, especially Highway 9 from West St. Paul to Selkirk. It's a contiguous mix of low density acreages, large lot residential, interspersed with several communities, coupled with multiple access points to Highway 9. From West St. Paul to Selkirk, Highway 9 has the appearance of a high volume arterial road in an urban area, so I opted not to include it.

I was also thinking of including Highway 8 from the Perimeter just past St. Andrews airport, but at the time decided against it (more or less the same reason as Highway 9). I do think Highway 8 is a better candidate than Highway 9 because there's less development. I would revise it if I did the map again.

I don't know Winnipeg very well (I've never visited) so my observations are likely a bit off.

Does Highway 9 have signal-controlled intersections anywhere between West St. Paul and Selkirk? It looks like a dangerous road.
