    Winnipeg is one of the most carbrained places on earth

    For the last 40 years pedestrians were not allowed to cross their main downtown intersection until THIS SUMMER

    Which is a shame because it’s quite beautiful if it werent blighted by cars. The irony is that the city’s prosperity in the past was based on it’s strategic railway position, and they replaced all the rail and trams with cars.

      Main and portage you mean? yeah there aren’t any crosswalks, but there’s an underground mall with a hall that spans underneath that whole intersection.
