Well, this city is already known for being the frugal and thrifty type out of the other cities in Canada, so we're bound with it. One of many reasons why we have a Red Apple downtown.
I'm no traffic engineer, but I think an at-grade crossing of Rothesay and Chief Peguis is a bad idea, and I mean, very bad. If the city wants things done right, they have to stick to the original plan!
Unfortunately, that last part is null, all because the city caved in due to rising costs. "Oh man, the costs are rising! Better take out that underpass instead!"
It would be very unusual to be stopping every 900 metres with the speed limit at 80 km/h at every intersection between Henderson and the Lag. Then again, they should implement traffic light synchronization to it by then.
