Peguis

I will, for sure.

So, uh, Cindy, one of the questions that we have, and it's a hot button issue, what is your position on Chief Peguis and Kenaston?

Okay.

It's a hot button issue for some people, but for me-

Like, first of all, if you wanna talk about, uh, Kenaston, it's not like we're gonna be widening it to a degree that it's gonna s- you know, save your, your trip out to IKEA, right? Like, it's, that's, we're not gonna see that, right? Plus, we're gonna have the expansion of a, a neighboring community.

So, you know, where we need to invest is, is a transit corridor along there to really encourage people to take the transit route out there instead.

Um, and then when you look at Chief Peguis, what really upset me about the Chief Peguis vote is that when I talked with administration that that isn't even on their radar for decades.

It's not even a need for decades.

[laughs]

So I'd go, like, Henderson, and then I'd walk down to, uh, Rowley and Gateway, walk that path, and then walk d-Chief Peguis.

You know, I just wanna see the, the scenery.

Yeah.

They earlier today let us know about several different charges laid under the Highway Traffic Act.

September 30th, a guy in his 30s going 137 on Chief Peguis, which is an 80-kilometer-per-hour zone.

I referenced those two motorcycles going 165. and 170 kilometers per hour on southbound Laje Maudier.

They were stopped at Headmaster Row.

Uh, transportation.

You are against the widening of Route 90, Kenaston, and the extension of the Chief Peguis Trail.

You call them incredibly wasteful city-building projects.

Um, you would redirect the 1.6 b- well, you wouldn't spend the 1.6 billion, and your argument is that it doesn't benefit the majority of city residents, encourages sprawl, and doesn't do anything about the overall traffic volu- volumes except funneling the problem elsewhere.

How can we, like, get people from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible? And that's how I look at it, because-

O- okay.

Now, you're, you're opposed to the extension of the Chief Peguis Trail.

Um, I personally have been, um, have been favorable to that, uh, because, uh, uh, it, uh, for one thing, it would connect to CentrePort.

We had the Stalker settlers come through that area in 1812, and they suffered heavy losses in that first year because they were not prepared at all for us.

And it was thanks to Chief Peguis that they survived at all.

Right.

So, that.

There's Bunz Creek, which is an amazing park neighborhood.

We've got the trails along Chief Peguis and the Northeast Pioneers Trail.

I love to be outside.

I love to be outside on my bike.

The soft velvet night of the summer prairie, with the winds crooning the sad monotone of a limitless sea, closed over a scene of savages drunk with slaughter, of men gone mad with the madness of murder, of warriors thinking to gain courage by drinking the blood of the slain.

Grant saved the settlers' lives by sending them downstream to Lake Winnipeg, where dwelt the friendly Chief Peguis.

On the river they met the indomitable Miles Macdonell, posting back to resume authority.

He brought news that must have been good cheer.
