Dude, this is the worst idea ever. You can't even justify this using your own formula from the other topic, nevermind the actual money in:money out argument.
How would the City pay for these projects?

How would they pay to widen the roads?
Eventually we will need overpasses at those roads, whether we widen the road or not. If we widen the road it is going to cost a lot more. Once the Kenaston, and St Mary's Roads have their traffic problems fixed, I'm sure it won't take long to get enough money to pay for those overpasses. Just a 2.5 cent per litre gas tax is able to make $50 million in a year in Manitoba. I'm sure a roundabout interchange won't cost much more than $200 million. So a five cent gas tax + 6 years = Lagimodiere traffic problems fixed for a long time.
