Winnipeg Money Pit: Reannounced BRT Promises and Pervasive Waste
The piece critiques Winnipeg’s BRT plan from University of Winnipeg to the Forks and then to the University of Manitoba as futile and overpriced. It argues current roads cannot support city traffic, six bus stops hamper speed, and funds are squandered on projects from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to Hydro and parks. It urges fixing sewers water lines and roads and cracking down on crime instead of more spending.
