@JaniceLukes@BichaelRender It's a 1.5 km stretch. If you don't hit the lights at Grovsenor Ave or either set of crosswalks it would take 1:48 to travel its length at 50km/h. 3:00 at 30km/h. Not 3-4 minutes. 1:12 at most.

Imagine visiting any vibrant city and still believing that ample parking is what makes downtown storefront business successful. Winnipeg would be the Paris of North America if that was true. We can afford to lose 150 of 38,726 public parking stalls to make cyclists safe @jbrowaty

CBC investigates Winnipeg spending $3/4 billion to expand one road.
Findings: Crippling cost. Won’t reduce traffic congestion.
Conclusion: Do it because congestion is bad. (Didn’t you just say it won’t fix congestion?)
Also: Charts with no numbers!

Help us transform Graham Avenue into a signature street in our Downtown - a place to meet-up on a patio, attend a market, gather for events, read a book in the shade, or walk your dog.
Take the survey or join us the open house on May 15. https://t.co/8O1kbcnF6D #wpgengage
A report to city council advises no more right turns from eastbound Assiniboine onto southbound Main St. The other would see left turns from northbound Main onto westbound Assiniboine controlled by a new traffic signal, but prohibited during the afternoon rush hour.
