Expand that thinking a little beyond the south Perimeter. St Marys is the third new interchange on the Perimeter in about the past 12 years but the 33 years or so before that had nothing new built.
Hopefully the pace of 1 interchange every 3-4 years keeps going as HWY 6 and a simple diamond at Pipeline make the north Perimeter from 59N to Roblin completely free flowing. Gunn Rd/Oakbank Cooridor also desperately need to happen. Transcona development is pushed right up against the east Perimeter now and without even a traffic light there we will see more fatalities at that intersection. In the past it has had far more fatalities than St Marys but you know need to secure those provincial votes for 2023.
