Drove down Main all the way to Chief the other day and can't believe the poor condition of Main from Inkster to Kildonan Park, don't think I ever saw a city street in that need of repair so badly in a dozen former Soviet bloc cities in Eastern Europe!

I get your point but the question is whether or not those big rigs would actually use the inner ring road as intended.
You could be right of course, I don't mean to say that there's no way it would make a difference. Maybe it would, I really don't know. I think that if most trucks aren't going from some point in a city to another but rather from one city to another, they're still going to use those other routes when they're the most efficient way to get around. That's why I'm not sure what we've got isn't enough already. It would make more sense to reinforce those routes from the Perimeter to the industrial parks in my opinion.
As to the condition of Main, that may have more to do with the climate than a lack of repair or heavy truck traffic. That's what we've always been told anyway so it's something to consider.
