In terms of St Marys, the traffic volume south of the Perimeter is minimal. It doesn't need a full interchange, a diamond should be sufficient. Save a few bucks on that and throw a diamond up at St Anne's too.

Gunn gunn gunn. Yes we know you live there. It's just like that fabled 4 lane highway to OakBank.
We had this conversation a month ago and posters brought up actual traffic volumes for you and you were quiet for some time on this. I guess you forgot that.
There is NO comparison between GUNN and St Mary's.
Here are FACTS.
St Mary's is an actual road that will take you 65 Kms south of the city.
Gunn is a dead end road at the perimeter that should never have been allowed to join it.
St Mary's was there before the perimeter even existed.
St Mary's takes a large amount of Niverville traffic and St Adolphe traffic. Both towns are boom towns for people escaping city taxes.
Take Warde ??. Lmfao. Get real. I dare you to drive any of these intersections in the morning rush hour and evening. Warde would be a cluster f*ck with all the traffic routed on it.
As for the person who says take pembina ?? So his idea is to detour all the way to Bishop which is already over used and take that. I do not know if that poster realizes there is a river in between St Mary's and Pembina ..........
Either way neither St Mary's will never be closed. Gunn however just might get closed.
Roads that needs interchanges that handle way more traffic then Gunn or Pipeline are
Highway 6
Highway 2 and 3
St Mary's
St Anne's
Highway 15
Also how many people have died on highway 15 for your super highway cause Cory ? Zero this year.
Highway 3 however is at Four so far this year and many seriously injured. Those are all people commuting on highway 3. So if we were to argue that four lane highway you always tell us about. Then highway 3 should be twinned at least to Sperling MB.
I drive all these highways weekly. Daily some of them. I drive the entire perimeter highway daily. I know first hand which intersections and highways are death traps. I Have witnessed some of these actual accidents to boot.
So take it from me. Gunn is really on the short stick.
