Of course that means another signalized intersection where they cross to slow traffic down.

Try this scenario out, Kildare running west across the Plessis yard to the CN spur, along the spur line to Owen. The City expropriates Birchwood Honda for a two lane yield on to Regent. The balance of the property is given to the Casino in exchange for some of the back lot property for the roadway. No harm, no foul. Chipman is in to hockey, not hardball, like Sammy likes to play.
Or, failing that plan. The roadway runs west around the snow dump, across the field behind Costco and Can. Tire, over Peguis and joins Reenders behind KP. The only obstacle is a small turn of the century Jewish cemetery that has an easement off Almey and takes up a few acres but is nicely shielded from passing cars.
If Ed Schreyer had ESP, he would never had lent his name to that Parkway. Starts in the middle of no-where, and dead-ends no-where. The road is a snub! Mr. Schreyer deserves better. The Boys that meet regularly on Saturday morning are very Liberal and have long, long memories. Ed was liberal once, wasn't he? PET found a place for him way down South, way SOUTH!
