In the years since the adoption of the Bicycle Use Master Plan, significant progress has been made in implementing bicycle lanes along many of the routes identified in the plan. However, with the Bicycle Use Master Plan approaching the end of its lifespan, with a need for a broader focus beyond cycling to other forms of active transportation, and with a focus on community sustainability and meeting the City’s Community Energy Plan goals, the City has developed a new Active Transportation Master Plan.

Windsor Area Long Range Transportation Study

The Windsor Area Long Range Transportation Study (WALTS) was conducted in 1997 and 1998 to provide the involved municipalities with a master plan to guide future development of transportation services in the Windsor area. The study area, established in 1997, includes the City of Windsor, Towns of LaSalle and Tecumseh, Townships of Sandwich South and Maidstone, and the Village of St. Clair Beach. The study determines the impacts of population and employment growth on the need for roads, transit, cycling and walking facilities within the area by the year 2016, along with access to air, marine, rail and trucking services.
