UPDATE:
My parents are furious that the Jeff Browaty, councillor for North Kildonan, wants to close Raleigh Street and Gateway Road at the Municipal limit. The closure of these important inter-municipal rights-of-way should be prevented otherwise my parents' property will lose over 60% of its market value as the potential for commercial development evaporates. My Mom was talking to our East St Paul councillor and the current thought is that if Winnipeg barricades Raleigh (and any future extension of Gateway) with its "Berlin Wall", East St Paul will respond by closing Wenzel Steet, a street with over 5000 cars daily primarily heading to Springfield Road and the industrial development in Transcona.
It even made it to the City's Docket at the East Kildonan - Transcona Community Committee:

The public hearing is Tuesday, February 18th at 6:00pm at City Hall.
