Thanks - in this case I meant 'physically' possible - and from others it sounds like the river is a bit too shallow at points maybe for it to be viable.
I grew up in St James and remember back when the Point Douglas Stadium proposal was shown I had visions of water busses coming all the way out to the West Perimeter (this was before all the new homes just west of the Perimeter and there was a big area that would have been the perfect 'Park and Ride') and taking people to a super cool waterbus station at Point Douglas lol. I was still a teenager so a bit more optimistic lol.
I really liked the stadium downtown idea but people seemed more caught up in the problems then the atmosphere it would create. I think there were some very valid concerns though with it. Wonder if they could do waterbusses to IGF ?
When I noticed the waterbus goes to that Hugo station I started wondering why in theory it could go further.
As others have mentioned Assiniboine Park would be a great West terminus for it.
