Like most people's dads, mine has an irrational hatred of Trudeau. I'm attempting to help him find rational reasons like I have.

Tbf I don't know what the hangup is about wanting to cross at that exact intersection. There are crosswalks in any other direction to cross either street! :shrug:

The cross walks are not close to the actual intersection. Sucks for people who can't walk long distances. Also the Underground area is in a state of perpetual construction so you never know if the doors locked

Most of the people arguing against it are wringing their hands about what-ifs and maybes the same way I'm sure people did when the concept of voting was introduced.

Say what you will about the family compact, but they voted with their aks mobbed up and attacked the GG and killed his brother just for meeting with the reformers

The underground concourse is dumb, should have been an elevated crossing- but is there any destination at all that would result in that crossing being the most efficient route? Who's going from BMO to TD to Scotiabank to Hy's other than a bank robber?

That's true, looking back on that post it may have came off as anti-union or that voting was pointless or counter-productive, of course it's awesome that they're doing that and good on them.

I used to live and work in downtown Winnipeg and walking through that intersection was my most direct route home. In the winter it was nice to have the underground/skywalk because I could do most of a 30 minute walk inside. In the summer I would hop the barrier, because gently caress walking down into a basement at 11 pm on a weeknight when there was no traffic. If you were never inconvenienced by that intersection it's probably because you didn't spend much time walking around downtown.

Hmm, doesn't sound like you were much inconvenienced by it either! :v: It's just a weird thing to be fixated on in a city full of questionable infrastructure design choices. If we're talking about something that's ultimately only good for the office crowd and tourists (lol) then it's not really for The People is it?

In my old neighbourhood there was this guy who was obsessed with putting a pedestrian-activated crosswalk (with the flashing lights) on Portage between Queen and St. James. He canvassed hard on it, and even the city said 'gently caress you' in the form of instead putting in lights that are only activated when fire trucks leave the station they built there because what the gently caress did he think that's going to do to traffic, completely halting eight lanes every time someone wants to cross when there are perfectly good controlled crossings not far up and down the street. It's a traffic artery and that's the equivalent of a heart attack. I get that most people are not educated in urban design, least of all the people in charge of running the city, but you don't have to build many SimCities to know a stupid idea when you hear one. It takes a little more imagination than walking up to the busiest intersection in the city every day and going ohhhh noooo, I cant cross here! :saddumb:

I wasn't a tourist or office crowd. Most people who live in that part of downtown aren't office crowd. Look at the voting on it. It failed because of people who live in headingley and east st Paul. it's silly to have a major downtown intersection closed to pedestrians

it's loving ridiculous unless you're the kind of perverse idiot that believes that the city exists so that you can drive through it to work and back home again, and occasionally to see a game or something.

this is incidentally the same logic behind spending over a billion dollars on a white elephant highway downtown toronto instead of tearing it down and putting in a boulevard. to save an average of 5 min per trip for people who primarily do not live in the city. of the councillors who voted against the boulevard option, absolutely none of them serve downtown constituencies.

I think that one is because for a while there were a lot of drunk people stumbling out of the Gort and getting smoked when trying to cross to the other side. There's a perfectly good crossing under the bridge right there but I guess people don't use it because homeless dudes hang out there at night, judging by all the beer cans that collect there. Or maybe they're too impatient for stairs so gently caress it let's roll the dice.

it's good to know that the NDP still doesn't have anyone vetting candidates' social media before an election, after the, what, fifth election where they've had candidates step down in the middle of the campaign?

and to be clear, this isn't over support for palestine or something, this is for incredibly stupid bullshit that should have been flagged ages ago
