A Windsor city councillor says a land-swap deal between the City of Detroit and the owners of the Ambassador Bridge raises questions about the future of boarded-up properties in Sandwich Towne.
The deal would give the Detroit International Bridge Company, which owns the Ambassador Bridge, a piece of vacant land on Jefferson Avenue near the bridge. In return, the company would give the city $2 million to upgrade Riverside Park.
"The noise is incredible. The pounding. The banging. It's just terrible," Irma Saldivar said about the trucks behind her house that use the Ambassador Bridge to cross into Canada.
The Detroit City Council is expected to vote on the transfer of land at Riverside Park to the Detroit International Bridge Company which is owned by the Maroun Family.
