  • Essex Windsor Regional Transportation Master Plan

    Essex Windsor Regional Transportation Master Plan

    ESSEX-WINDSOR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN Technical Report IBI Group With October, 2005 Paradigm Transportation Solutions Essex-Windsor Regional Transportation Master Plan MAJOR STUDY FINDINGS & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PART 1: MAJOR STUDY FINDINGS Official Plan policies of both the County of Essex and the City of Windsor acknowledge that comprehensive regional transportation policies and implementation strategies are needed to effectively address regional transportation needs now through to 2021. This is needed because during this time period, the City and County combined are expected to grow by about 92,000 more residents and 53,000 jobs. The location and form of this growth will have a significant impact on the capability of the existing transportation system, and specifically the major roadway system, to serve the added travel needs. Coupled with this is the overall background growth in trip-making throughout the Essex-Windsor region, and the amount of cross-border traffic moving through the region. This is why the regional transportation plan has taken a very integrated transportation/land use planning approach, with as much emphasis on demand-side issues such as trip-making characteristics and travel mode choice, as on the more traditional supply-side alternatives dealing with major roadway widenings and extensions. The transportation planning approach used in this study emphasizes the integration of land use and transportation planning in Essex-Windsor region. Continued regional growth will put pressure on strategic parts of the transportation system, reducing its ability to move people and goods safely and efficiently in these parts of the region. Other transportation system needs will continue to grow in response to growth in international cross-border traffic, and are addressed more specifically in the Lets Get Windsor-Essex Moving initiatives, the Detroit River International Crossing Study and the Windsor Gateway Report prepared for the City of Windsor by Sam Schwartz Engineering PLLC and released in January 2005.

    2017 MUNICIPAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS REPORT Municipal Accomplishments 2017 Report Introduction The Municipal Accomplishments Report is an annual report that aims to communicate and celebrate the achievements of City of Windsor employees. City staff are dedicated to the betterment of the community and work hard to implement the vision of the Mayor and City Council. Though some of accomplishments listed have been recognized through other channels, this report provides an opportunity to enhance awareness of administration’s efforts each year as a whole and to highlight some of the City’s most notable achievements. City of Windsor Employee Awards On Thursday, November 2, 2017, City of Windsor employees celebrated the achievements and contributions of their colleagues at The 5th Annual Employee Recognition Banquet (ERB). Representatives of City Council and the Corporate Leadership Team, along with the CAO, took the opportunity to appreciate the great work being done by City staff and recognized the following 2017 award winners: Frances Horvath Memorial Equal Opportunity Award Frances Horvath, a former employee of the City of Windsor, was dedicated to improving the status of women in the workforce. City Council has endorsed this award to be presented annually to the employee who best demonstrates commitment to and promotion of equal opportunity, diversity and social justice. Diane Ryan Within the Corporation, Diane has always advocated significantly for positive change and for fairness in employment practices. She has no fear in speaking the truth but always does so in a professional and informed manner, never seeking credit for her influence. As noted in the nomination, “many employees who have benefitted from her opinions never knew of her role in their positive outcomes.” In addition, Diane has taken on leadership roles with various committees, all with the aim of making the organization more efficient, effective and a positive place for employees to learn, grow and succeed.
  • U.S.-Canada Greenways Vision Map Will Bridge the Gap Between Emerging Trails and Bicycle Lanes

    U.S.-Canada Greenways Vision Map Will Bridge the Gap Between Emerging Trails and Bicycle Lanes

    For Immediate Release: 24 April 2016 U.S.-Canada Greenways Vision Map Will Bridge the Gap Between Emerging Trails and Bicycle Lanes Windsor, Ontario/Detroit, Michigan – A U.S. - Canadian partnership is hoping a new map will encourage people to grab their bikes and explore both sides of the Detroit River. The group has released a binational greenways vision map to connect emerging international greenways, trails, and bike lanes, establishing safe and convenient routes for pedestrians and bicyclists. It is the vision of these Canadian and U.S. partners to encourage stronger linkages between emerging greenways of southwest Ontario and southeast Michigan via a future dedicated bike lane on the new Gordie Howe Bridge and a possible future ferry system between Windsor and Detroit. Greenways are connections that link communities, parks, nature areas, cultural features, economic centers, and historic sites. Based on experience throughout the world, greenways promote outdoor recreation, catalyze ecotourism and economic development, promote healthier life styles, provide safe alternatives to motorized transportation, increase adjacent property values, celebrate historical and cultural assets, promote conservation and environmental education, and improve quality of life. Windsor and Detroit share the same ecosystem and have much in common culturally, socially, economically, and historically. Each has a unique greenway system. For example, the City of Winsor maintains 128 km (79.5 miles) of trails, including the Windsor Loop that is a 42.5-km (26.4-mile) loop when completed will traverse around the City’s perimeter, joining neighborhoods and providing access to the Trans Canada Trail. The Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway trails will soon be open, offering an additional 20 km (12.4 miles) of greenways.

  • Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario

    Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario

    Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario Lori Newton, Executive Director, Bike Windsor Essex, [email protected] Background Greenways are linear open spaces, including habitats and trails, that link parks, nature areas, cultural features, or historic sites with each other, for recreation and conservation purposes. Based on experience throughout North America, greenways promote outdoor recreation, catalyze economic development, increase adjacent property values, celebrate historical and cultural assets, promote conservation and environmental education, and improve quality of life. Greenways can provide an exceptional outdoor recreational experience that reconnects children and families to natural resources, and that builds a stewardship ethic. It should not be surprising that greenways are an enormous source of community pride. Windsor has a long history of greenways dating back to the 1960s. Windsor's Department of Parks and Recreation maintains 12 km2 of green space, 180 parks, and 64 km of trails. Beginning in the 1960s, Windsor started creating a shared-usage trail network, initially called the "Windsor Loop," that circumnavigates around the entire city and connects to neighboring communities (Table 1). The longest greenway trail in this network is the Roy A. Battagello River Walk (built in the late 1960s, and upgraded/widened several times), stretching from west of the Ambassador Bridge to the historical Hiram Walker Distillery, a distance of about 8 km.

    2017-2018 WECF Annual Report

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 -2018 www.wecf.ca1 Our Mission To build a better Windsor-Essex Community by: attracting and managing legacy funds, making grants to support community programs, and bringing partners together. OUR HISTORY – Celebrating 35 Years of Inspiration! In 1983, a group of civic leaders had the forward-thinking idea to develop a foundation where legacy-giving would fund future gift-giving, and from this vision Heritage Windsor was formed. Originally dedicated to reclaiming Windsor’s riverfront through projects such as the Peace Fountain, the Peace Beacon and Bert Weeks Memorial Garden, the Foundation soon broadened its scope. Changing names to the Greater Windsor Community Foundation, our reach and support extended to countless landmarks across Windsor-Essex including the Ojibway Prairie Complex, the Ganatchio Trail extension, Charles Clark Square, Willistead Manor, and more recently, the Great Canadian Flag Project. Another name change in 2008, to the WindsorEssex Community Foundation (WECF), reflected our commitment to serve both City and County. We are proud to continue our outreach of funding to charitable organizations throughout the community, increasing capacity through community partnerships. Over the past 35 years the WECF has accumulated $16.3 million in assets and has granted $6.9 million to a wide array of charitable programs. Today, the WECF has expanded its legacy-giving through the form of community initiatives, such as Random Act of Kindness DayTM, Vital Signs® and the Vitality Legacy Program, providing donors with unique ways to support and build Windsor-Essex. We look forward to what the next 35 years will bring! MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On this 35th anniversary we are pleased to report another notable year and are proud to continue to work with you to build our strong and philanthropic community! Our impact continues to grow as we invest in our local organizations and the work that they do, this year granting $519,937 to worthy causes within our community.
