Not to mention that the Rose line will go through Grant and will have a guaranteed stop at CMU while providing 5 minute headways for frequent service. Once you get on Grant then there’s tons of amenities that one can access quite easily. Because the proposed Rose line reaches all the way to Transcona via Downtown one can commute pretty far to their workplace.

Not to detract from the conversation about NIMBYism but using the rose line to promote this area is like promoting Winnipeg as a place that will have a free flowing Perimeter Highway. We'll all be dead before that happens.
