I’m getting lots of questions about some buzzkill signs that have been posted by the Town near the hill at the Libro Centre and wanted to update residents and articulate a bit of a vision for the rolling landscape that exists on the sprawling property.

Active transportation projects proposed under the County Wide Active Transportation System for 2021 will enable Amherstburg cyclists and ambitious pedestrians to travel on paved shoulders all the way from the edge of downtown to Holiday Beach.

My council colleagues and I unanimously passed a Budget Friday afternoon that invests heavily in waterfront development, roads, parks and trails, one that addresses our financial challenges and strategic priorities, supports our invaluable heritage attributes and positions the Town for future growth and success.

Amherstburg cyclists and pedestrians rejoice!

Paved shoulders will soon be constructed on a stretch of Alma Street between Fryer Street and Meloche Road, shoring up a dangerous and glaring gap in the Town’s active transportation network.
