I did a tour of the new road when it opened, and I found out the speed limit approaching CCW from PR 221 is 80 km/h, while the speed limit of CCW is 70 km/h. Also the speed limit of PR 221 is still 100 km/h away from the intersection compared to 90 km/h on CCW. This makes no sense.

There are also 50 km/h signs if you're coming from Brookside, but I bet they will be removed soon.

This might have to do with how easy land access is in the area. I suspect the tie in will be west of the Headingley scales but east of SFX.

As for Winnipeg swallowing Headingley, you are far more likely to se St Andrews become part of Winnipeg than Headingley. There was a reason Headingley succeed and they are still quiet happy with their divorce.

West St. Paul is in between St. Andrews and Winnipeg.

I also noticed the crazy slow 50 km/h speed limit of Inkster. I'm going to assume that will be changed. Seems like a leftover of the construction detours.

All of these roads are maintained by the province, not the city. The city has no say.

That was kind of my point, West St Paul is likely the closest of the bordering RMs to a merger with Winnipeg and Headingley is the furthest. Honestly the western portions of Springfield (ie Oakbank and Dugald) and St Andrews seem like they have more potential than Headingley.

I think the lower speed limit on Inkster is in part to encourage traffic to use CCW when connecting to Route 90 or the Perimeter. I know there are lots of digital signs up right now recommending traffic connecting between those points does exactly that.

We're talking on Inkster between Route 90 and CCW. Basically right where CCW begins, speed limit is only 50 there when the roadway is the same highway design as CCW. Inkster east of Route 90 I could see being a lower speed limit. 60 maybe, 50 is too slow..

I think it was either they want to slow the motorists down to read the signs, or they simply forgot to remove it, and should have been boosted up back to 80 km/h, like in the olden days before CCW started up.

At least the traffic shows up!

Did anyone do a cool video with a dash cam whilst driving the CCW?

No one on Google has it yet. Why haven't you done it?

Looks like someone already did edit it; just waiting to be approved?
Either way, it will show up.

Sure would be nice to see it link up with Chief Peguis Trail one day.
The coming years will be critical for Centreport Canada, as many of the key infrastructure pieces are (slowly) coming together now... time to lock up a major tenant or two, and get some private money flowing into this. Government can't make it all happen by themselves.

A waste water deal has been struck between the City and RM of Rosser. The stars are starting to align finally. CCW opened. Water treatment plant to start construction in the srping. Waste water deal in place. Just needed tenants.

That's it. I'm going to invest on a dash cam. I've been flirting on the idea for almost a year now. Probably one of the cheap, yet of high quality ones off of eBay, or wish for a GoPro camera this Christmas...

At least once a week, when I have free time, I just drive around the city, and witness the sights, sounds, and the shenanigans on the road, and encounter with what drivers around this city do, and don't do.

I haven't really kept up with it, but now that you reminded me, I checked what was going on with my city. I definitely need some more trees and green space to clear the air.

That is good news. Finally, there was reason in there some where.

And then there's always the gamble of "build it and they WON"T come". CCW was a pretty costly endeavour and with money spent that would probably have been better used to improve existing roadways.

Maybe...but in my mind we need to take a leap of faith in hopes that Centerport will become the magnet of commercial/industrial investment that many picture it will be. I mean, what else will really grow our economy here? We are a model of stability, at best moderate growth. We don't have the oil under our feet that Alberta and Saskatchewan do.

My hope is that the feds are focusing on Centerport as Canada's future inland port, and not Regina's GTH. I haven't followed Centerport situation from day one as well as some others on here have, but I haven't heard anywhere that Winnipeg has outright "won" the inland port race between us, Edmonton and Regina for the key federal government recognition and financial support. We need this to work, the two provinces to our west really don't...they are booming quite well on their own.
