Proposed development would house new Windsor museum

Dear Residents:

After being sent a survey on this initiative (see Potential Food & Entertainment Venue in West Windsor at Former "Junction") and reading about it in the paper (see Proposed development would house new Windsor museum), I decided to go visit the property on University Ave. W.  I believe University Ave. W. has great potential for development.  It is the main artery that connects the University of Windsor and the Downtown, the Ambassador Bridge and the Tunnel.  And now with the University moving some of its faculties downtown, we may see some major development in the area.  With that said, I suggest you read the article in today's Windsor Star, if you haven't already, and if you're inclined, I would like to receive your input on this potential development.  If residents of the area show enough interest, I will take it upon myself to organize a community meeting to discuss what we as residents can do to support a more vibrant and developed University Ave. W.

Below are some pictures of the site as it stands today.  I took these pictures on this beautiful day, March 16, 2012.

Best regards,
Fabio Costante

October 4th Council Meeting

Hi friends,  I wanted to provide a brief synopsis of today's Council meeting as there are some items of interest to residents in the west-end.  First, I am happy to report that Council unanimously supported my committee motion not to remove the streetlights at Brock and Sandwich and at Campbell and Grove. There was an administrative report recommending the removal of streetlights at these intersections, among others, and Council supported my motion to keep them there considering there are two grade schools close by at each location.  Second, we were supposed to discuss and debate the Legacy Beacon project and the Festival Plaza Canopy project today. Councillor Gignac put forward a motion to defer these items until administration reported back on a comprehensive report looking at these two projects together with the Civic Esplanade project that is set to come forward at some point in the future. I supported this motion because I think it gives us a bigger picture to assess...
