I don't think you understand how the time works. My drive will be increased 15 minutes easily. The 50 seconds only applies if you hit every green with zero traffic on the road and then only hit the red light at P &M. How many disabled people cross P&M a day? How many drivers cross? You want to convenience maybe a fraction of a percent of people to inconvenience 20000 vehicles. It's a huge deal for me to drive an extra 15 - 30 minutes a day when I have family and responsibilities to get to. It's not NIMBY it's more practical. You need to look at the situation with an open mind and also realize that you are not like most of the general public.

Stfu anyone saying Lapo needs to go or sucks. If he were to be fired nearly every team would call him instantly to be the oc or HC

if Hamilton destroys them...with another poor showing by the offense. Will they fire McAdoo?

15 minute delay on a good day, on a bad day you're looking at way way longer. It's ok to be wrong and it will all be a distant memory once the elections are done. You are claiming that you are correct and the experts the city paid are wrong... That's silly. I'm not a fan of Bowman for the most part but it's nice that he finally put his ego aside. Now his next step will be to stop trying to cater to the people who claim the citizens are all racists. It's almost a guarantee that he will win now so maybe he can focus on more relevant issues.

Radio hosts are a dime a dozen... The guy will have a nice career selling cars in his future...

It wouldn't be 50 seconds ... More like 15 minutes. When traffic is gridlocked it effects all the lights behind it. You have to compound it all the way down Portage. When a dinkhead bus driver decides to run the red and turns left onto Portage and ends up blocking all three lanes causing everyone to miss a light. This alone adds five minutes to my commute and this happens all of the time. The only people who think opening it up will bring life to downtown are all dreamers. The same people who thought that Portage Place was the saviour for downtown. Saying the mass is uneducated is silly. The minority are merely trying to outsmart themselves. Comparing Winnipeg to other cities is ridiculous. Unless the city somehow finds 100s of millions of dollars to completely redesign downtown , the whole idea of it being like a times square is ridiculous. Experts that the city paid to do studies showed that it's a bad idea. They even paid a different company to seek a different answer. As I said before it's ok to be wrong sometimes unknown poster.

If the league was so picky about character then how do they allow the Riders to sign half of their roster....

87% against opening it... most other polls have had it closer to 95%

Other cities have freeways and multiple routes to get around town. Winnipeg only has 1. As I stated before if one car stalls it absolutely kills the drive home and this isn't a debate as I experience it over and over again coming home from work. Adding a 30- 45 second walking light for pedestrians would be an absolute killer. It's bad enough as it is right now and if anything the city should focus on finding ways to get through downtown faster. The only logical explanation for your posts is that you are attempting to troll?

I haven't watched Bowman play so I'm not sure if it's the play selection or him giving up on routes or if the QB is just not looking his way. They *should* have some quick outs designed for him that they can go to early in games. I'd give the guy a few more games and if he's still not producing then bring in the next guy for a look.

You've yet to hear a reasonable argument? Have you not read anything posted on social media, reddit, comment sections in papers? Nearly everyone is against opening up the intersection. If you want a reasonable argument the easiest and most vital issue is opening up the intersection will absolutely kill traffic flow during rush hours. Unlike other cities we don't have a proper infrastructure of getting people from one end to the other without hitting dozens of lights. For myself my commute absolutely requires for me to go through downtown and whenever a car stalls or any sort of even minor road repairs absolutely cripples the commute and it can take me up to 90 minutes to get home. Another reasonable argument is safety, it's bad enough avoiding the "riff raff" going down Portage who jump between cars or jaywalk during green lights. Another reasonable argument is the idea of having patios and people hanging out at that intersection is laughable... the wind frequently is way to strong to sit down and enjoy anything. I have to close my car windows so that my parking pass and anything in my car doesn't blow away... I can't imagine trying to eat and drink with that wind. Lots of reasons to keep it close. The idea that opening it will bring tourists or increase the popularity of downtown because it will be a gateway between the forks and Portage is such a far fetched dream it's ridiculous. Instead of investing millions in a pipe dream... why not focus on doing something that *may* actual increase downtown popularity such as banning pan handling, stronger enforcement on drunks wandering around, close down Portage Place ASAP and change it into something else that doesn't have a food court, increase police presence etc.... The whole idea of opening the intersection is purely Bowman wanting to leave his legacy and all reports have shown it has been a bad idea and it's obvious on why he's trying to keep everything hidden from the public because if their was transparency he would of been absolutely blasted by all the voters for such a poor idea. Bowman won because Judy was a moron , the guy had the friendly looking smile (didnt' look like a con man like Katz) and people were duped into thinking he was a good guy. Sadly nobody of any merit is running against him this election so he may win out of best out of the worst. If Browaty had decided to run for Mayor he would of won by a massive land slide... he actually has a track record of doing positive things for the community and the people. He actually has trust from his voters.

Someone posted that same quote on Reddit. Maybe wheeler can take his show independent, that way you can mostly have the freedom to say whatever you want.

Bad decision in what way? Portage and main should be closed off and I assume he is doing this to take away any kind of fringe voters between him and Jenny.

I've seen many seniors working fast food jobs, construction, retail and all sorts of jobs.

Have you guys ever been to the states? I see lots of seniors working all types of jobs.

My memory of Bowman was that he disappeared from games when they had him going deep. He thrived in Edmonton on quick passes that were 5-8 yards out I'm which he then tacked on an extra 10-15 yac.

The guy was a loose cannon so I think most people are assuming that it was more of a self destruction rather then an accident...

So Max Hall the coke head and Marve the woman beater.... I guess they did not sign guys based on character back then...

Worth every penny

That is awesome!

Will Sasso does the absolute best Jesse Ventura impression.... pure gold

The only way we lose is if our dline and dvd fall asleep and drop in play. I've seen more then enough if Jennings to be convinced that any kind of pressure on him will result in those errant throws. I think we win again and Lulay gets the second half.

Since I'm at work and can't post a direct image link.... https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/8ww9k5/i_thought_these_were_a_joke_the_120_price_tag_is/ It's already began!!!

We are 1 - 0 with our starting QB playing... we blew away two teams and nearly beat Edmonton with a guy making his first pro start ever. I've only seen us play 1 bad game (Hamilton) ... meanwhile even in the Riders win against Hamilton they looked absolutely atrocious on offense. I'd be majorly concerned if I were a Rider fan about that Offense.
