Portage & Memorial is a better example. Way wider, way busier, WAY more pedestrians, and no islands.

Portage and Memorial is not more busy. Not a chance. Can you count the lanes on main ? Now count Memorial. See a difference ? There is a reason Memorial goes down to 2 lanes each way and same as north of portage. Main however doesnt and main is a major roadway that goes from the south perimeter to the north perimeter.
I'm not saying keep it closed. But there isn't an intersection in this city you can compare it to.
As for these comments Bowman is keeping his promise. How so? He ain't doing anything till 2019. All he is doing is spending 3.5 million on more studies to study the studies done to. Are sure those studies of the studies are studied more.
As far as him being elected because he wanted to open PNM. Lmfao. As if. He was elected more on the fuck up called the Police HQ and his promise to get to the bottom of that. Btw how is he doing on that front ?
Bowman opens he yappy little mouth this past month because of the Globe and Mail artical. He has no intentions of opening it.
