Completion date for Walker Road-Tecumseh Road construction project delayed again
The completion date for a construction project around Tecumseh Road East and Walker Road in Windsor is being pushed back again. The Tecumseh Road East infrastructure renewal project was scheduled to be completed by July but is now scheduled for completion in August due to additional work that's been identified. An ENWIN spokesperson tells AM800 News that while performing road restoration work, it was identified that additional repairs are required in order to ensure the long-term durability of the roadway. This work is being completed now, while traffic controls are already in place, to help avoid future disruptions and is anticipated to reduce the need for further major maintenance or construction in the coming years. Traffic on the west side of Walker Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction, controlled by traffic signals in late June. No left turns will be permitted at the Tecumseh/Walker intersection during this time. Ward 4 Councillor Mark McKenzie calls this latest delay ridiculous, given it was supposed to be done in Fall 2024. 'We heard back in March; they said it would be eight to 12 weeks, which would put it at the end of May. The end of May has come and gone. We were told it would be maybe the beginning or mid-July; now we're hearing it's going to be August,' he said. The current work is the continuation of a project that started in May 2024, and it includes a new 1,200-meter-long concrete water main, along with road paving and surface restoration. Along with the intersection, the work has impacted several surrounding roads, including Memorial Drive, Turner Road, Factoria Road, Milloy Street and Chandler Road, all near the Met Campus of Windsor Regional Hospital. McKenzie says he's hearing from residents every day about this project. 'You have people who are speeding up and down these residential streets now trying to avoid the delays that you're seeing on Walker Road and Tecumseh Road because of this never-ending construction project,' he said. McKenzie says he doesn't understand why this project is taking so long. 'Something needs to be done here; there need to be timelines that are set in these contracts. If these contractors can't hit these timelines, these deadlines, then they should be penalized for it. You see that in other municipalities and in the states as well,' he said. - By Rusty Thomson/AM800 News

National tenant in new development ‘will only enhance this area'
Prep work is underway to get the property directly behind Home Depot on Windsor's east end on Tecumseh Road transformed into the new home of a major retailer. 'We gotta wait 'til the right time to say who and when,' said City Councillor Gary Kaschak, when asked if Costco is the major tenant. The company has been the long rumoured retailer expected to be part of this new development on the city's east end, but no confirmation from the company, the city or developer, Rocco Tullio and Rock Development. 'The tenants, you know, they make their own timelines and decisions as to when they want to make the announcement,' said Tullio, who points this will enhance the area and attract people from surrounding municipalities. Once the project is complete, he says there will be room at the back end of the 33-acre property for a additional tenants. 'It's just going to jumpstart this whole development, which is going to be great for the city of Windsor and people out in the east end,' Tullio said. Roads are being created on the east and west side of the property, and with them, Tullio says, comes the opportunity for the surrounding area to be developed. 'The Serbian lands have ten acres. There's other people from Toronto that own land and so when it's all developed, there's about 90 acres. You're talking about a million square feet, a million two square feet,' Tullio said. 'We're going to have something similar to the Walker Road corridor,' said Kaschak. 'I think, with many, many big box stores, lots of action, which should create lots of growth, lots of density and lots of taxes towards the city of Windsor.' Tullio says national retailers have shown significant interest in this area of Windsor. 'Now that the construction has started. You know, these nationals and all that. Hey, the city's open for business. This is a great node to be part of and, you know, I'm excited to see what the future holds for this development.'
