On a mid-March day when the temperature is minus ridiculous, Actress Edi Patterson describes being a visitor at Winnipeg’s famous closed intersection. Maybe we can sell it as an exotic tourist experience? Link: hot1005fm.com/2022/03/10/734…

Winnipeg is weird. The only time people are allowed in the intersection of Portage and Main is when they win a significant sporting event.
TRAFFIC ALERT: PORTAGE & MAIN CLOSURE. Due to the Blue Bombers winning the Grey Cup again.!!! WFPS has closed off the intersection of Main & Portage. Please use alternate routes. Please try to stay on the sidewalks for safety reasons. #Winnipeg #WPGTraffic #WpgTMC

A visitor’s experience
Replying to @e_backstrom
But now I need to tell you about my #PortageandMain experience. It was just after 9:00 pm last Thursday. I am a 40-something 6 foot tall male. When I got to the underpass, I looked behind me to see if I was being followed and then asked myself, Is it safe to go down there?

REMINDER: How you open your car door matters to cyclists. If you haven’t implemented the Dutch Reach yet, it’s time. #Winnipeg #bikelife mnn.com/family/protection-sa…

Private vehicles creating 40 times more emissions than transit, while transporting only 8 times more people, demonstrates that improving service to increase ridership is much more important than investing in electric busses.
Replying to @brent_bellamy
Winnipeg: 1.4 million car trips per day - 32% of total emissions. 170,000 transit trips per day - 0.8% of total emissions. 8x more car trips than transit trips. 40x more emissions from cars than transit.
