It used to be all the money is in the south part of the city not sure if that’s the same still. Even though we’re not talking a lot of money here.
When's the last time you drove down Loudon? It's terrible. Most (all?) of it is maintained by the city. I'm not convinced that the city will rebuild it for the benefit of a venture that pays its taxes to an RM.Lower taxes and better roads. Also, there is a lot of industrial development taking place in the RM of Macdonald.
Winnipeg left in the dust by neighbouring RMs due to shortage of industrial land | CBC NewsLower taxes and better roads. Also, there is a lot of industrial development taking place in the RM of Macdonald.
I know and it's terrible.
I wouldn't call it Oak Bluff. It's two minutes away from Kenaston. There's just a lot of available space there.
I'd guess it's at least 10-15 years away. Eventually the city wants an inner perimeter with William Clement hooking into CentrePort Canada Way somehow and connecting that to a Chief Peguis extension in the north.
This is also in the works - but the Perimeter is the exclusive responsibility of the Province, not the City. South Perimeter design is supposed to be finalized by the end of this year but it will take a loooong time and roughly a bazillion dollars to turn it into a proper freeway. https://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/hpd/pth100/pdf/open_house/background_station.pdf
As I understand it is being built by Rink Academy, which is private money. As for the location. It's in the RM of Macdonald (barely) so taxes will be considerably lower.
You can't expect drivers to be familiar with merging when there are no freeways in the city and every intersection and interchange has different standard.Yeah, we're in the collect underpants phase. Doubt that I will live long enough to see the profit. As for improving safety, do not underestimate the ability of Winnipeg drivers to **** up a merge. I can't tell you the number of times I've felt like leaning on my horn because some idiot has come to a full stop at the start of a merge lane. Then there are the ass holes that make it their mission in life to prevent people from merging in front of them. There's a special corner of hell waiting for them, I'm hoping.

You take your life into your own hands merging in Winnipeg. For one, most "merge" lanes don't really merge (it's more like a yield into full traffic), and as the original post mentioned, too many people don't let people merge. Merging only works if everybody is playing by the same rules, or else you're getting rear-ended at 110 kph.You can't expect drivers to be familiar with merging when there are no freeways in the city and every intersection and interchange has different standard.
I wish i could like this comment a hundred times , they just made a new long merge to get onto lagimodier and people come to a complete stop because they want to get into the far left lane to turn at Deer foot . There is a tonne of room to go , press the gas pedal a little and you'll make it no problem but no you come to a complete stop and don't let any of the other vehicles go behind you . Always makes me wonder how they got a license and how they function in life .Yeah, we're in the collect underpants phase. Doubt that I will live long enough to see the profit.
