The final decision to permanently close the Brady Road access point marks the end of a difficult journey for many families. This outcome ensures that no one else will face the dangers we worked so hard to address. We should remain attentive to the road conditions ahead as these changes …

On October 25, 2019 another young man, aged 19, named Ethan Boyer was senselessly taken from us at the uncontrolled access point from the Perimeter to the Brady Landfill. He joins too many others who have suffered the same fate including 2 young men aged 18 in 2011 and another fatality at the same spot in 2018. All loss of life is tragic but when it could have been prevented it is doubly hard. We are striving to make Ethan the last statistic at this site!
Thank you all for participating. The Boyer family have heard from the Minister of Infrastructure that an announcement will be made Tuesday November 12, regarding the access point of Brady Road and the Perimeter. Stay safe.
The Minister of Infrastructure has made his announcement, here is a brief of his changes.
- The speed limit will be reduced to 80 kilometres per hour between PR 330 and Kenaston Boulevard.
- There will be a new deceleration zone on the paved shoulder west of the Brady Road turnoff.
- There will be no left turns off Brady Road westbound onto the Perimeter Highway;
- There will be some message boards and speed reader boards in place temporarily, notifying drivers of the changes.

Not quite what we were looking for, but a start!

How many lives need to be lost.? I am a Winnipeg Firefighter. I see first hand what happens. Close all uncontrolled intersections on the Perimeter Hwy. It’s 2019 people. Good enough is not good enough anymore.
Yes, Close that divide so left turns IN TO or OUT OF Brady Site. Right turn IN is OK as long as they build a long Deceleration Right Turn Lane, & a Right turn OUT is OK as it already has an Acceleration Lane, but even that lane needs to be extended for trucks.
I have witnessed far to many accidents at this section of the highway and many more near misses that I cannot for the life of my understand why it is still open and not redirected to where there are lights in place. Action must be taken now.
If kenaston had been extended another 100 meters or so it would have intersected with a service road that seems to lead to Brady road and the landfill....this would have provided much safer access to the dump. Close the uncontrolled intersection!
Ethan Boyer was my nephew, my sister and her husband’s son, Reid’s brother, my brother and his wife’s nephew, my three daughters cousin and the list goes on. Make changes now ASAP. Save another life. Possibly name the road after Ethan. Ethan way.
One tragedy is too many!
All level crossing should have been eliminated from the perimeter highway years ago. It is time the province got serious about building safe highways like they do just 100 km to the south of us.

Please please close this intersection. Like Ethan, my son is a student at U of M and travels this section of highway daily. I worry every day. Close it before there is another tragedy. Please.
