I agree with the last writer, the money is better off at the Alexander Docks or Old Market Square than wasting it at an intersection…..

I think that time and money would be better spent at revitalizing public spaces in areas such as the Alexander Docks or Old Market Square. Those two are examples places that could undergo a transformation along the lines of the Forks, as opposed to a downtown intersection.

Traversing of the “windiest and coldest intersection in the geographical heartland of North America” will no longer require the citizens and tourists alike to disappear in to the subterranean maze of confusion. Instead they will be able rise above it all and to gaze west, north and south. As they get off the escalator or the stairs in the climate controlled round about they are greeted by digital solar powered screen giving them a time, date temperature and wind speed and direction as well as street names and other pertinent information. For the tourists interactive digital monitors will explain all about Winnipeg. The visually and mobility impaired can easily access the roundabout with aid of a special levator/escalator.

With regards to revenue, I would personally suggest more positive verbiage such as there will be a bidding war when entrepreneurs and businesses realize tremendous visibility the roundabout would offer.
-Between geothermal, solar and wind this facility could become a showcase for all that is green
- Conceivably the construction could be accomplished in a step fashion by using modular construction methods. Only one street would be affected during each module.
- It does not make sense to even think about a open roundabout, with wind and snow it would literally become a white frozen elephant that no one would want to use.
