Windsor’s Second Season – Construction Season!
Welcome to Construction Season Ward 2 – for context here is the total amount being spent on roads this year!
To the Specific Road Projects
- College Avenue — Lena Avenue to Brock Street. Road reconstruction including new watermain installation; and replacement of curbs, sidewalks, and driveways. Project is planned to commence May 4, 2026, with expected completion by September 2026. Road closure with local access maintained where feasible.
- This will be bit of a headache. Felix will have North-South disruptions, probably force changes to transit routes detours. I suspect the sinkhole opened up last spring probably led to this project moving up the queue.
- Peter Street — Mill Street to South Street; and South Street — Peter Street to Bloomfield Road. Both projects will involve a combination of road reconstruction and mill and pave work. Reconstruction areas include new watermain installation; and replacement of curbs, sidewalks, and driveways. Remaining sections will receive full-depth asphalt mill and pave replacement with minor concrete repairs. Project is planned to commence May 4, 2026, with expected completion by September 2026. Road closure with local access maintained where feasible.
- Some of the oldest streets in West Windsor, they took a beating during the Sandwich Street reconstruction supported by the Gordie Howe Bridge. Now that Sandwich is done, we can shift to fixing up these residential roads that tie together the heritage district.
- Wyandotte Street West — Sunset Avenue to Huron Church Road. Full-depth milling and paving. Project is planned to commence June 1, 2026, with expected completion by June 29, 2026. Road closure with local access maintained where feasible.
- Fixing up in front of the University with a mill and pave.
- Campbell Avenue (west side) — University Avenue West to Wyandotte Street West. Full-depth asphalt milling and paving. Project is planned to commence June 29, 2026, with expected completion by August 3, 2026. Road closure with local access maintained where feasible.
- A couple of years ago the east side of the road was done, now we are finishing the west side. Move the crew from in front of the University to here.
- Wyandotte Street West — Cameron Avenue to Campbell Avenue. Road reconstruction including new watermain installation; and replacement of curbs, sidewalks, and driveways. Project is planned to commence in the fall of 2026. Road closure with local access maintained where feasible.
- This is a rough stretch of road in front of Adie Knox and the former Benson School (more on that later). This will be a major East-West disruption later in the summer and into the fall but we hope to have it all done in time for Hockey Season at a revamped Adie Knox!
Former Benson School & Housing
This week at Council at asked a CQ about the City potentially buying the former Benson School and adding it to the Housing Solutions Made For Windsor programs. I made a social media video here.
May Ward Calendar
- It’s Jane’s Walk Windsor Weekend, I hope to see you at walks across the City!
Thank you for the update. As much of a hassle all of this is going to be, it is deeply needed. Had no idea about the sinkhole, must have had my head in the “sand”. Keep fighting for West End, it is the Best End!
