I've been looking at the St Vital South area which is located South of the Perimeter Highway. I've always noticed that it appears that Dakota Street was planned to extend to/ beyond the Perimeter Highway to future residential access. But I personally think since there's a water treatment plant there and a Gauthier Soils, I feel like that area would be perfect for an Industrial Area. It would be situated between two Interchanges which makes it fairly easy for trucks and logistics traffic to access. Since most industrial development makes sense to build near the Perimeter (evident in areas like Oak Bluff), I don't see why that shouldn't be industrial.
This could also help consolidate those tiny commercial industrial areas. I'm refering to De Vos Road (next to the Pembina Hwy and Perimeter Cloverleaf) and Melnick Road. Taking those out could remove the need for two Railway crossings (cancel the one at Aimes/Melnick Connection, Remove De Vos Road entirely along with the crossing). Those areas could be dedicated to being strictly residential. De Vos could be used for some infill development and transform De Vos into a walking path.
P.S. Melnick Road could be consolidated to Aimes Industrial
