It is. I'm trying to think of an equivalent. It's like Bronson Avenue, maybe, or the Airport Parkway. It is the biggest north-south arterial road. The speed limit in some places.... I usually go a bit faster, but I think it's 70 kilometres an hour most of the way, and in a few spots it might even be a bit higher. It slows down in some of the residential areas.
The reason I talk about speed limits is that it's not just like a regular road, with traffic lights every couple of hundred metres. There are lots of streets that don't cross Lewvan, because it's such a major artery. It really does act as a separator. Basically, when my colleagues are talking about the river in Saskatoon, it makes a lot of sense that it would have the same effect there.
