Most of you just can't grasp that the only route for many from NE and NW Winnipeg to south Winnipeg is on Main Street through downtown, like it or not. Blame poor planning in the 1950's and 60's for this!
If you live in west Winnipeg or south Winnipeg and never venture north you would be all for the opening as it wouldn't affect you!

But the thing is you also kind of make the case for the opening too. Due to decreased traffic volumes because of work from home, maybe opening the intersection won't be the apocalypse that has been prophesied by the doomsday 'keep-the-pedestrians-away-at-all-costs' crowd.
