  • Detroit Heritage River Nomination Report
    Nomination of the Detroit River Submission Requirements This document sets out the criteria of the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board (CHRS) for the nomination of the Detroit River as a Heritage River within the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS). The CHRS is the vehicle by which the nominating agency identifies the heritage significance of a river and justifies its inclusion in the CHRS. The purpose of this format is to act as a guide to nominating agencies and to provide consistency in the nomination process. CHRS provides an opportunity for the recognition and conservation of rivers deemed to be of outstanding Canadian heritage value. This value is obtained when it has been determined that a river is an outstanding representative of or unique in a province or territory. By the inclusion of such rivers in a single coast-to-coast system, they become representative of Canada’s river heritage as a whole, thus reflecting a “Canadian value”. 1 Nomination of the Detroit River Canadian Heritage Rivers System The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) has been established by the federal, provincial and territorial governments to recognize outstanding rivers of Canada and ensuring management which will protect these rivers and enhance their significant heritage values for the long term benefit and enjoyment of Canadians. To qualify for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, a river or section of a river must be of outstanding significance in one or more areas: natural heritage, human heritage, or recreational values. The nominated section should be large enough to encompass these values and provide the user with an appreciation of the river’s resources, as well as an enjoyable recreational experience.

  • Border Crossing Freight Travel Time and Delay
    Final Site Report EVALUATION OF TRAVEL TIME METHODS TO SUPPORT MOBILITY PERFORMANCE MONITORING AMBASSADOR BRIDGE To Office of Freight Mgt. and Operations Federal Highway Administration U.S. Department of Transportation Washington, DC 20590 April 2002 Border Crossing Freight Delay Data Collection and Analysis FY 2001 Data Collection – Ambassador Bridge Site Description The Ambassador Bridge is a large, imposing structure that connects Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario (see figures 1 and 2). The bridge is the single busiest international land border crossing in North America, serving as a portal for 27% of the approximately $400 billion in annual trade between Canada and the U.S. The bridge is 1.6 miles long from tollbooth to primary inspection checkpoint in either direction. The roadway is four lanes whose directional flow is controlled by overhead changeable electronic lane markers, often in combination with cones. The bridge operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. It facilitates the movement of many commodities between the U.S. and Canada, with the automotive industry being the most notable. Ambassador Bridge Figure 1. Area Map – The Ambassador Bridge. Both trucks and autos intermingle in the same lanes as they cross, then on the far side they separate into discrete lanes as they approach separate primary checkpoints, in both the U.S. and Canada. After primary inspection, trucks and autos mix as they exit Canadian Customs into Windsor, while trucks that exit U.S. Customs are segregated from autos. The Windsor-Detroit Tunnel is only a short distance away. The tunnel is for autos only, one lane in either direction.

It was completed in 1930. It is the second busiest crossing between the United States and Canada after the nearby Ambassador Bridge. About 13,000 vehicles (cars, vans, buses) use the tunnel each day.[1] The structure is jointly owned by the two cities. A 2004 Border Transportation Partnership study showed that 150,000 jobs in the region and $13 billion (U.S.) in annual production depend on the Windsor-Detroit international border crossing.[2] When constructed, it was only the third underwater vehicular tunnel constructed in the United States (after the Holland Tunnel between Jersey City, New Jersey, and downtown Manhattan, New York City, New York and the Posey Tube between Oakland and Alameda, California). Its creation was prompted by the opening of cross-border rail freight tunnels including the St. Clair Tunnel between Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario and the Michigan Central Railway Tunnel between Detroit and Windsor.

Background On June 15, 2012 Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor Rick Snyder announced an Agreement between Canada and Michigan to build a new publicly owned bridge between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario. The crossing agreement establishes the framework for Canada’s and Michigan’s roles and responsibilities for the construction, financing operation and maintenance of the new international crossing.

  • Ambassador Bridge Border Crossing System
    Booz·Allen & Hamilton Ambassador Bridge Final Evaluation Report CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 9 FINDINGS 25 CONCLUSIONS 65 RECOMMENDATIONS 70 APPENDIX A-1 Booz·Allen & Hamilton i Ambassador Bridge Final Evaluation Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The US-Canada International Border Crossings (IBC) Project is a joint effort between the United States and Canada to provide a transparent, seamless border for expeditious crossing of people and goods through the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies at selected border crossing sites. Field operational tests were independently conducted at selected border crossing sites. This report details the evaluation of the field operational tests conducted at the Ambassador Bridge international border crossing site between Detroit, Michigan, USA and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The purpose of the Ambassador Bridge Border Crossing System (ABBCS) field operational test (FOT) was to demonstrate the ability of ITS technology to expedite safe and legal international border crossings for both commercial and commuter vehicles in an operational environment. The ABBCS project objective was to develop and demonstrate an integrated system that would allow pre-processed vehicles, trade goods, and commuters to pass through international border checkpoints with expedited customs, immigration, and toll collection processing. Through the application of new and emerging technologies, the ABBCS was intended to facilitate the positive identification of commercial vehicles, crews and cargo, and commuter vehicles, drivers and passengers, as well as to facilitate the electronic payment of bridge tolls. The system operating concept was centered around the use of a system of in-vehicle transponders and roadside positive identification and classification equipment to gather pre-processed information for use in assessing the crossing status of a vehicle, its contents, and its occupants, and to collect tolls.
