Ouellette Streetscape Project Picks Up

Construction is picking up again on Ouellette Ave.

Starting Monday February 26, 2018 Ouellette Ave will be closed between Wyandotte St. and Elliott St. until October. The closure is scheduled for the completion of streetscape improvements through the downtown street.

The improvements will focus on resurfacing the sidewalk and roadway and will extend from building face to building face on each side. Key features will include a revised cross section to facilitate two lanes of traffic with on-street parking, new street and pedestrian lighting, the introduction of a “flex zone” to allow for patios and public events. new paving materials, and planting features.

Pedestrians will be able to access all local businesses throughout the construction period.

Transit Windsor routes through the area will be detoured.
