Whatever happened to....


Can you imagine how many jobs would have been created and how far down the road we would be with the border crossing issue if these planned projects were actually underway. Oh the Francis Overpass has been built on Huron Church but who knows when the big ticket items will ever get stated or finished!


Canada – Ontario Border Infrastructure Fund Initiative

The Canada - Ontario Border Infrastructure Fund Initiative has identified approximately $82 million in capital projects that have either already been started or that are in the planning stages.

Canada - Ontario Border Infrastructure Initiative Projects

Walker Road Grade Separation $30,100,000

Windsor Tunnel Plaza $30,000,000

Inteligent Transportation System $18,650,000

Huron Church Road Pedestrian Bridge $3,000,000

Intersection Improvements - Huron Church & Industrial Drive $250,000

Total Estimated Gross Cost $82,000,000

And if the balance of the $300,000,000 was being used now for the road to the border as identified by WALTS/Schwartz/City/DRIC...but no, we will have to watch macho games being played first! Political careers have to be salvaged in an election year don't you know.
