I don't buy into the misplaced threory that new roads and expanded roadways increase traffic by themselves.
The reality is as transporting goods by truck and people by cars becomes more affordable there is a growing demand for roadway infrastructure. In addition to trading patterns which have incourged more and larger distribution centres. All these things have played at part in an increase in demand for road capacity.
Winnipeg is and will continue to invest in increasing this capacity as needed. As we move forword I believe that the trasportation industry will see significnat growth in the local economy.... and will require better commercial routes.
