Winnipeg | Osborne Village & Fort Rouge

[thebasketballgeek]

The Village has and will never be truly special until three things happen.

1: that damn shell gas station gets removed
2: that Confusion corner becomes something other than a suburban style sea of parking.
3: get traffic off Osborne Village. Holy shit it’s incredible how frightened the city is in making it more pleasant for pedestrians. The strip is up there with the highest pedestrian traffic in the city (which is fucking sad now that I think about it) but NO we can’t have bike lanes or rapid transit on Osborne to reduce the car dependency in the area. I swear to god if someone here tells me we can’t do that on Osborne because “but TheBasketballGeek WiNniPEg dOeSn’t haVE A frEEwAy wHEre aRe All tHe cARs GoInG To gO”? I’m going to tell you that the automobiles destroying the environment with their absurd GG emissions and eroding our quality of life can go to hell.
