Actually , they've tabled this project for construction over the last ten or fifteen years. Every time it went up before council it got pushed back to the next capital expenditures round (every five years I believe) Now that Harbourview South has gone ahead as well as so much more in East St. Paul they've pretty much left themselves with no choice but to build the thing finally. Lastly, I saw in the paper a month or so ago that the city is finally looking at filling in that gap between Transcona and the Kildonans (well, they're looking at the neighbourhood structure plan but that's generally a precursor to green-lighting development)
In other words, it looks like the city has no choice at this point but to build the extension or the voters in those areas will start booting people out of office.
