Gap Winds: GreatRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only".
» biogardener - Great I like your way of explaining things.Have you ever written an article on wind tunnels in the city? I am always watching the flags at the Portage & Main intersection in Winnipeg. The street is very spacious with 7 lanes and a boulevard on Portage Avenue and 6 lanes and a boulevard on Main Street. It looks so strange to see flags blowing in every direction rather than having them all going in the same direction. If anyone painted a picture of it, he would be accused of not being scientifically correct. That intersection is possibly Canada's best-known one. It is the beginning of North America's longest street, Portage Avenue. It starts about 50 miles east of the centre of the continuent and continues along the #1 Trans-Canada Highway all the way through Regina, Calgary, and Vancouver right to the Pacific Ocean. I find its beginning the most fascinating, because of the wind tunnels created by the high buildings surrounding it. -- posted by biogardener
