1. The City of Winnipeg is the largest city in Canada without a rapid transit system; 2. Rapid transit is vital to Winnipeg\'s development as a prosperous, accessible, innovative, sustainable and welcoming city; 3. The construction of a rapid transit system for Winnipeg, using dedicated transit ways, will reduce congestion, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and car use, strengthen our local economy, support downtown and existing neighbourhoods, encourage more compact, pedestrian-friendly land development and improve our environment. 4. The Government of Canada has offered $500 million in funding for transit projects in Canada, conditional on a public commitment being made no later than March 31, 2008. We urge the City of Winnipeg, the Province of Manitoba and the Government of Canada to commit to the funding of the first phase of a rapid transit system for Winnipeg.

im still reading through all the comments you guys are posting and its clear im not the only one frustrated by the lack of movement on this front. im working on getting a meeting set up with some people at city hall to show them how many of us want this fixed.

Fix the potholes first then worry about rapid transit. Just wasting tax dollars again.

Winnipeg traffic is becoming a complete nightmare. We need this now before nothing moves at all.

This city is so behind. Everywhere else has this figured out except us.
