My idea is that they should probably build a new freeway grade bypass around Winnipeg right around the Steinbach interchange or the 207 junction (where the TCH takes a northwest bend after leaving the Boreal Forest to go up to Winnipeg) and just have the new bypass extend due west and around the City and then rejoin the TCH around Highway 332 near Dacotah/Cartier. I marked it on this map. The land should be pretty open and it would be a much more direct by-pass route than the current practice of driving the north-west turn on the TCH up to Winnipeg, only to then take the Perimeter around to Portage Ave. Since the TCH is so much further to the south of the city on the east side it makes sense to me. Has any thought been given to this?
