Parks Department Responds to Super Naysayer

Gateway to Willistead
Stands a Chance

Intersection of Walker and Niagra

Ed Arditti, exalted Blogmeister behind Windsor City Blog, went to bat for Old Walkerville residents. He convinced city authorities that it was time to take care of at least one of their mandatory albeit more mundane obligations; controlling weeds on city property. After all...It's the little things that make a big difference.


So now this path to Windsor's beautiful Willistead Park looks that much more inviting. Tall weeds don't obscure the view into Old Walkerville and visitors to the park won't have any reservation about taking this route.


As one can see by viewing the picture above (click on it to enlarge), the Mediteranean Bakery could also chip in by following suit and bringing down the weeds on the rest of their property. One local resident replied to the last post, rightfully pointing out that Restaurant Garbage should not be adorning the residential neighbourhood along Niagra. It should not be on the City sidewalk seven days a week and it should remain on the restaurant's property until garbage day. Certainly not an appealing brand mechanism for an eating establishment.


Restaurant Garbage on Niagra Sidewalk Seven Days a Week

This is also a perfect opportunity for the City to inexpensively promote Willistead Park and Manor. A simple and cost effective destination sign at the corner of Walker and Niagra would draw more vistors to the gates of Willistead. Something to think about. Where would Windsor be without naysayers? Thanks Ed.

WE WANT WHAT THE NAYSAYERS ARE GETTING

Windsor's chief Naysayer (As dubbed by the Windsor Star) is getting special treatment and residents of Old Walkerville want some of the same. Read these two links:



The main route to Willistead from Walker Road via Niagra does nothing to help citizens and tourists find or get to Willistead Park. These boulevards have not been cut once all year and...it shows. Area residents contacted the City to get the weeds cut down before Art in the Park. There has obviously been no response. One might think that this corner could also use a plaquard to guide our city guests to the park entrance. Is this too much to ask or do we have to climb up on a stump and yelp NaaaaaaaaaaaY!
Is Ed Arditti our "go to" to get something done?
It seems no one else knows how.
