Dundas square Toronto. All traffic stops. Pedestrian can cross all corners like a square or a cross like an x. Dundas Square is super busy with pedestrians and cars. I've seen it work well. Small city can do it too.

not opening P&M will tell anyone who visits, we are a car-centric city which requires a car, piss off if you don't have one and use our piss poor transit and we'll stay close minded for years to come.

To have to go down under to cross is disgusting. The piss soaked stairs are a joke. To cross in 60 seconds, compared to 10 minutes walking around that mess underground.Have a vision. Elected officials are there to make decisions for they city. Bowman was a cop out ,holding a plebiscite.

Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is a perfect example of how this works . The underground is not worth repairing so move on .

Funny how we could afford to build an underground concourse 45 years ago in 1979, but in 2024 we can't. This country has gone downhill

Agree totally declining and not making useful things just monuments that have no function. You watch it will go from a nice system which was special to downtown Winnipeg and turned into a basic intersection with longer lights then now, and some wasteful artists instillation that will become run down in twelve years.

Lol, he says that repairs would be too disruptive, but having pedestrians in one of the busiest intersections wouldn't be?

If it was already pedestrian area, we'd be wondering why people driving through it are somehow more important.

People in Winnipeg complaining about opening up a main intersection to pedestrians deserve to live in a car-centric hellscape like Winnipeg 😂😂😂

There are about 100 intersections in downtown Winnipeg 99 of them have pedestrian access it's not an issue to normal people.

If the concourse is connected to the buildings in the area, it should be funded by the building property managers. That's pretty much how it works in Toronto, with the exception of most subway concourses.

That was the original deal but Bowman eliminated the responsibility of the shareholders which was his real reason for wanting to open the intersection.
