Stop going forward with the BRT. The southwest leg is mostly in the middle of nowhere and is not accessible by any riders. This will never recoup the money put into it. Take the funds and put it towards fixing roads and making more bike lanes.

Investing in transit is very important. Southwest Corridor is not in the right place, but we do need to increase what we are putting toward operating our transit network. Winnipeg contributes about $50M to operating transit. Quebec City contributes over $100M and Edmonton and Ottawa both contribute over $200M.
I agree, BRT is a joke and seems only being done so Bowman can say he brought it to WPG
Or, zone areas adjacent to rapid transit stops for new high rise apartments and attractive/walkable shops/restaurants. Build a walkway over the rail so that riders can access Pembina from Fort Rouge Station
Convert BRT into rail (LRT/subway) because rail transit operations are long-term cheaper than diesel buses. Trains attract more passengers than buses do due to their more comfortable ride (accel. & decel.) and on-time performance.
