Drive out there. All of the buildings are north of the border. Go up Inkster and have a look. Don't just believe what you read.

The Perimeter is not the boundary for CoW. It's just a road.

Riverman · #**1683** Posted **Dec 10, 2015, 9:30 PM**

Correct BJ. Pretty well all the development is in the RM of Rosser.

NDP benefited from increased federal transfers post 2000. Some people seem to forget the magnitude of the cuts in federal transfers during the belt-tightening at all levels in the 90s.

Isn't it better to keep jobs and attract more jobs in the metro area than for the city to keep taxing people at an insane rate?

Hey, it is a Winnipeg thing! Of course I understand why they move but why would the Government pay to build this huge development to suck businesses out of the city?

I just got a new financial planning guy who recently moved from Cabbagetown to River Heights. From a $1 million house to a $350k house. His property taxes are now double.

I love those cabbagetown row houses.

Crucial to what? The New World Order?

Of more and more jobs moving out of Canada?

Good for RM of Rosser. The other municipalities need to grow too, not just Winterpeg.

Why, when they spent the past 25 years expanding and expanding and expanding forever?

Why not build another one in the metro area, or expand the clinic in Seven Oaks?

That's a second Pan Am clinic, a new one. The original is staying as is, where is. That place is ridiculously busy everyday.

It's success. The rail park is paramount. What does this have to do with jobs moving out of Canada?

Looking at this image from the CJOB website, the bypass will link up with Kenaston. I'm sure the people of Waverley West are going to love having highway traffic ripping up and down right through the middle of their neighbourhood!

jmt18325 · #**1694** Posted **Dec 11, 2015, 1:04 AM**

That was always the plan.

I knew that, but it really drives home the point how ill considered the layout of the major streets through Waverley West was.

I agree with that.

bomberjet · #**1697** Posted **Dec 11, 2015, 1:17 AM**

I think the town centre idea is dumb. But having Kenaston run down the middle isn't so bad. It's quite a large area, Waverley West is. Maybe utilizing the Waverley corridor would've been a better idea, though it is less direct to the Perimeter than Kenaston is.

Those same trucks now thunder through St Nob. Then either straight down Pembina or west on the perimeter and up route 90. The traffic will just be more direct but it's the same traffic as it gets now.

It just seems so awkward, two high-speed, high-volume one-ways with a little island of commercial in the middle. It sounds like a setup so hostile to pedestrians that no one would willingly walk to the commercial town centre area.

The perimeter from Wilkes to the Assinaboine River is the border, a large chunk of land NW of the airport is Rosser within the perimeter and on the east side of Winnipeg part of the RM of Springfield is within the perimeter.
