A Strategy for the West-End: Our Time is Now

Friends,


Notwithstanding previous plans that focused on specific neighbourhoods, we've never had a comprehensive strategy for the west-end. Over the next 12 - 18 months, I plan to work with key stakeholders to finally address this gap. See my proposal below (click on the link) that was recently  published by The Windsor Star and please share your thoughts as we move forward.  


A Strategy for the West-End: Our Time is Now


Sincerely,


Fabio Costante

    I think this idea is great, Fabio, and I've sent you an email with ideas.
    A couple of years ago I delivered flyers on my block of Partington asking neighbours to paint their front door a cheerful colour. I'd like to see all of the west side do this and be known as 'the community of the coloured doors'. Our west end is very drab looking over all and I think asking residents to take part in this initiative would bring pride to the hood and help get residents to buy into the interest in revitalizing our community. Please ask residents to paint their door, both screen door and front door, in a cheerful colour. It's inexpensive to do and those that cannot do it themselves can hire a student for $25 to do it.

Huron Church Road Closure

Friends, please know that I've been dedicating every hour of every day communicating and relaying the concerns of residents and businesses to the Police, the Mayor's office, and the leadership team at City Hall regarding the ongoing national security situation along Huron Church Rd. Three very recent updates that I'd like to share are the following:  Residents in Sandwich Town taking the Central 3 will be offered free bus passes during this temporary closure; The intersection at Industrial and Northwood has been opened for east/west traffic; and Emergency Services (Fire and Ambulance) will not be delayed or affected by this closure. Police have stated and posted publicly that response times will remain the same. I will be sharing more in the coming days, but in the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach me directly at fcostante@citywindsor.ca or at 519-252-1005.
