So true. I don't know why Balmoral/Colony & Ellice has to be a 7-lane extravaganza while Balmoral & Sargent works perfectly fine with 4 lanes.
(I know the traffic engineer answer would simply be "there's space for 7 lanes so let's have 7 lanes", and in Winnipeg, "traffic engineer" and "city planner" appear to be synonyms.)

I don't like the sidewalk that is there now.

Agreed, the street is too wide, and the traffic too fast, to have such a small sidewalk squeezed right up against the street. It's an extremely unpleasant stretch to walk. A walking path between the double rows of trees would be so much nicer.
