Hahahahaha.

Yeah that was a big epic moment in Winnipeg history. People gotta stay alert

And speaking of that some reports said Winnipeg soil is not suitable for underground, so the better solution will be a skytrain like what Vancouver does, or the famous one in Chicago

Makes sense. I hope they will even innovate in technology like autonomous buses

Engineers can find solutions for everything. Dream big. Chicago's underground track moves 4 or 5 times the number of people than the elevated track.

Dec 2020 was the initial date, but my bet is spring/summer 2021...

Good article on Édouard-Montpetit REM station:

Have they figured out where the Bassin Peel station is going to be yet? A quick google search suggested they're still deciding which seems impossible if that section of the REM is supposed to open in just 2 years.

Over the last 5-10 years, we've seen massive investment in transit all across Canada. Hopefully, this trend continues for decades to come. We still have a long way to go before catching up with our international counterparts.

I didn't much like the Griffintown proposal but it's turning out ok. I'll have to check it out in person the next time I'm in town.
