Re: Metropolis strikes to alter bylaw limiting riverfront constructing top, in an effort to get Celestial Beacon constructed, by Brian Cross, April 27
The most effective drive in Windsor is driving alongside Riverside Drive with the unobstructed view of the river, particularly now that Detroit has modified the method to their riverfront, including extra park lands.
I concern {that a} change to the bylaw to permitting constructing alongside the riverfront may open up additional constructing at later dates that might negatively have an effect on views alongside Riverside Drive.
As a lifelong Windsor resident and having seen the adjustments alongside the riverfront for the higher, it could be a mistake to go backwards if this bylaw had been to permit constructing on the riverfront — this time for the Celestial Beacon to accommodate the streetcar, however sooner or later may very well be used to construct different buildings such because the “The Plywood Palace” that was the previous Vacation Inn.
If there must be a constructing to show the restored road automobile, may I recommend the realm north of the brand new metropolis corridor. This location can be in strolling distance to downtown and an attraction to the downtown space and companies.
