This is a city and a province that have had roughly 70 years to make the Perimeter free flowing. If you think that the politicians will suddenly come to their senses and do what they planned from the beginning, you're all being naive. Those clowns will put up a light at any random city intersection with no traffic rather than save a little bit and put the money towards an interchange.

Every chance they get to improve the Perimeter, they squander. When the last leg of the Perimeter was being completed in the 90's, they could have made Gunn Rd into a set of ramps rather than an intersection. Did they do that? Fuck no. That would have made sense and we don't want that kind of shit in this town.

Hell, they shut down a perfectly usable interchange when they completed the Perimeter and replaced it with lights. Took them 20 years to finally finish what they started.

Eliminating uncontrolled access points? How fucking hard is that? All they have to do is literally put some barriers up if they want to cheap out but they can't even manage that. Seriously, they make it impossible not to think of them as ass clowns when it comes to keeping promises concerning traffic infrastructure. Do you guys realize that Winnipeg is one of if not the largest city in the developed world without a freeway? Hell, even cities in the developing world have better transportation infrastructure most of the time.

The real kicker is that successive governments have insisted that we're supposed to be some sort of transportation hub because of our location but not a single one of them has ever built anything to make the claim remotely legitimate. They're idiots but that's what decades of voting for these clowns will get you.
