How feasible would it be, to have Assiniboia Downs turn into a Park and Ride? It could provide service for out-of-towners, along with the Iceplex and Assiniboia Downs itself.
Possible route options:
23 - Pointe West Express (6 am - 7 pm Downtown with 20 min freq), 23 Pointe West (20 minute frequency with two D30LFs from Assiniboia Downs to Unicity)
82 - Route extension to Assiniboia Park and Ride
21 - Peak Service? (either Grace Hospital or Assiniboia Park and Ride)
4 - Centreport West (Assiniboia P&R, to Centreport Canada via Unicity. Spares commuters the drive, and opens the road for freight trucks). Frequency every 30 to 45 minutes? To start off with anyway
If a residential area across from Pointe West could be established, there will ALWAYS be transit commuters cause then:
- Schools are across Perimetre (Buchanan, Hedges, JT)
- Shopping Centres are across as well (Unicity as an example)
- No one would want to walk under the Overpass (especially with speeing cars and -40 winters) to get to the other side!!!
Again, just an idea needing other thoughts and input
