It's really hard to argue with this. I don't get why scarce infrastructure dollars wouldn't have been allocated to routes that are already receiving high traffic volumes and where there is an established need for improvements. CCW is just kind of there, in the middle of nowhere.
And I know someone will step in and say that CCW was necessary to attract industry, but the reality is these things happen slowly in Manitoba. By the time CentrePort establishes a critical mass, the original CCW will be falling apart and in need of replacement. This isn't some sort of Chinese boomtown where you lay out the industrial park grid on farmland and five years later it's filled with factories and warehouses... this is going to be a 40 year thing, at least.
Instead of CCW they should have just beefed up Sturgeon and Inkster a bit and set land aside for future improvements.
