I don't know much about roads, but I would assume concrete would handle heavy trucks better than concrete. No?

Depends on the asphalt mix and thickness of the asphalt pavement. The PPP part of Cheif Peguis is asphalt and it seems to be in better condition than the concrete on city part west of Henderson Highway.

Maybe its because the PPP operator is quicker to fix pavement problems than the city.

Munroe has been bad in that section for years, also bad from London east to around Louelda St . My dentist is in the Munroe Shopping center and I joke with her that she is is paying the city to keep the potholes on Munroe to shake the old fillings out of my teeth.

It would be about the asphalt thickness. I find the asphalt residential street in my neighbourhood to be not good. 5 years after being rebuilt, they've moved around, settled, etc and generally speaking the concrete roads are just better. Residential street asphalt thickness would probably be 100mm vs something like Erin street which is probably 150mm to 200mm thickness. Plus whatever additional gravel they may include below the asphalt.

Chief Peguis P3. They would've planned for paving intervals so they can hand back the roadway to the City after 30 years in 'as new' condition. The pavement design would account for this. They would plan to rehab or repave the road at certain intervals. Soon after Chief Peguis was new, the road was pretty bumpy. They rebuilt a few small pieces. They re-did section of curbs during the recent repaving. And for the most part now it is a very smooth roadway vs the rest of Winnipeg. They'll probably repave it once more in about 10 years then leave it for handback to the City.

This interactive web page from the city shows what they consider the condition of your street is. I think the street conditions get updated every few years as they manually inventory the pavement.

Sidewalks starting in 2024 will be evaluated by contracted AI robots. Next evaluation was expected to be run in 2027.

Has anyone seen this? Seems like they have a displaced left turn planned for Bison Drive @ Waverley.

Much needed.

Wasn't that whole intersection set-up originally to allow for a future flyover? I know, i know haha I liked option 3, but option 2 seems neat I guess.

I personally like Option 3 myself. I feel like it does seem to have a Higher Traffic Capacity than Option 2.

But Hopefully Option 2 will work well because I feel like other Intersections in Winnipeg could use the Displaced Left Turn (or Continuous Flow Intersection) setup. Not a replacement for an actual Interchange tho, but still a solution.
