WINDSOR, ONT. --
Plans are moving forward to improve two popular Windsor roadways.
Mayor Drew Dilkens was joined by senior members of City of Windsor administration and engineering consulting firm CIMA+ Tuesday to provide an update regarding the reimagining of University and Victoria avenues.
An environmental study was commissioned in 2018 to explore ways of reconfiguring a 3.5-kilometre stretch of University Avenue West from Huron Church Road to McDougall Street to better integrate new features for walking, bicycling and other modes of active transportation to make the roadway more attractive and accessible.
Dilkens says the road was originally designed for streetcars and is excessively wide and underutilized.
