The CPT extension is also a money pit if you look at it that way but we will probably forge ahead with those while the inner city continues to crumble.

I'm even pitching a free-flowing stretch of road! This shouldn't be some polarizing, war-on-cars idea. I'd expect this to be a slam-dunk, win-win solution for SW Winnipeg drivers and residents of Corydon and Osborne.
