The City of Windsor is providing another opportunity for community input on the University Avenue and Victoria Avenue corridors. A public survey has been launched to gather ideas on the existing roadway elements and opportunities for future improvements.

The short survey focuses specifically on the areas of University Avenue, between Huron Church Road and McDougall Street, and Victoria Avenue, from Chatham Street West to Park Street West.

Cycling infrastructure, on-street parking and streetscaping are all under consideration for what amounts to three and a half kilometres of corridors under study. The Transportation Planning Department together with the project consultant are gathering this feedback to help optimize the existing right-of-way and achieve safe, efficient, comfortable and convenient travel for roadway users of all ages, abilities and modes of transportation for the next 20 years.

The University Avenue and Victoria Avenue Survey will be open until January 6, 2019 and will be added to feedback from other resident and stakeholder consultations.
