Route 90 runs north to south from PTH 101 to Route 165 (Bishop Grandin Boulevard). It is perhaps the most well known of the routes in Winnipeg's route system. Source
Rennie consists of a store, a gas station, and a hotel/restaurant/bar.On the way to Whiteshell Provincial Park. Source
I had a Route 90 moment, + I wanted to plug Rennie, Manitoba.

And soon, Route 90 will be just the 3rd north-south Route to cross the entire city from Perimeter to Perimeter (along with Route 20 and Route 52).
Good call, 42 does go through the entire city as well. I just never consider Henderson being the natural extension of Pembina/Donald in the same way as the others (e.g. the transition from St. Mary's to Main Street is seamless).
^ True. But it's a route, not necessarily the same street. Just like the #1 goes through downtown. From Fermor, St. Anne's, St. Mary's, Broadway, then Portage. Rather indirect. And besides route 90, who uses those numbers? No one calls Bishop Grandin route 165. Or Chief Route 17.
In LA, they call the East/West Highway 'the 10', North/South 'the 5', or even the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).
Just because you haven't heard it, doesn't mean certain people or groups don't call it that. When Lagimodiere sign were just being installed you should have heard people trying to say the name, and now the word " Lag(e)" just rolls off everyone's tongue as does Route 20 could lead to people calling it 'the 20'.
Route 90, because of all the different streets envolved, make it easier just to call it that.

Haha, very true - I don't even call Route 90 Route 90 (I call it Kenaston, even when I'm by Polo Park). I would say that once the Route 90 makes it to the Perimeter, there are three "streets" that you can get across the City north-south on (without having to turn off anywhere). Kenaston/Century/King Edward/Oak Point/Brookside; St Mary's-Main; and Lag. And, as always, zero east-west routes .
