I agree with whoever said that not having a freeway is 347th on a list of winnipeg's problems. The perimeter could definately do with some extra cash being pumped into it, but ultimately why does it matter if its a "freeway" or not?

Not to jump down your throat UrbanPlanerr, but this strikes me as another case of Winnipegers feeling inadequate and latching on to some kind of "big city item" we lack as the cause. A perimeter Freeway wont suddenly make us a thriving metropolis.

Winnipeg has the deck stacked against it in many ways, but if we just focused on playing to its strengths, and stopped constantly comparing ourselves to calgary or vancouver, etc. etc., we'd be much better off.
