Winnipeg was actually supposed to have two concentric ring roads, the Perimeter Highway on the outside and the Suburban Beltway on the inside. The Beltway was never built, although a version of it is slowly developing into a sort of arterial ring-road as Routes 90 and 165 and Chief Peguis Trail etc. more or less follow various parts of its proposed path.

As early as 1910, a ring road was planned, called Sharp Boulevard after the former mayor, but it was never realized beyond a few blocks of what is still called Sharp Blvd. in St. James and Inkster Blvd. in the North End, which was intended to become another section of it.

And that is the extent of my ring-road lore.
