A Strategy for the West-End: Our Time is Now

Friends,


Notwithstanding previous plans that focused on specific neighbourhoods, we've never had a comprehensive strategy for the west-end. Over the next 12 - 18 months, I plan to work with key stakeholders to finally address this gap. See my proposal below (click on the link) that was recently  published by The Windsor Star and please share your thoughts as we move forward.  


A Strategy for the West-End: Our Time is Now


Sincerely,

    I think this idea is great, Fabio, and I've sent you an email with ideas.
    A couple of years ago I delivered flyers on my block of Partington asking neighbours to paint their front door a cheerful colour. I'd like to see all of the west side do this and be known as 'the community of the coloured doors'. Our west end is very drab looking over all and I think asking residents to take part in this initiative would bring pride to the hood and help get residents to buy into the interest in revitalizing our community. Please ask residents to paint their door, both screen door and front door, in a cheerful colour. It's inexpensive to do and those that cannot do it themselves can hire a student for $25 to do it.

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...
