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.

Nice timing. Read this from "Urban Jungle" published in today's Windsor Star:
"I have investigated complaints on one property where the grass has not been cut yet this year. We need to move on this quickly," said Valentinis.
The city should clean up their own sites before they pounce on citizens. Amazing this lot.
I shall see what I can do!

I have called the city 5 time now in the last month to trim their bushes on city owned parking lots downtown. Each and everytime, the city comes and the STUDENTS cut the lawn and then leave (before spilling avout 1.5 liters of gas on the sidewalk which has never been cleaned up. Thanks for the grease stain!).
Why can't they trim their ornamental bushes? What part of me saying "they haven't trimmed any bushes this year at all" doesn't the city get?
Windsor wants to investigate people's property complaints yet don't do anything with their own land. I gues the slashing of parks and recs budgt for Eddie's Green-scam, Airport, Tunnel deal, junkets, lawyer fees is more important than Windsor's own TAXPAYING RESIDENTS.
do as I say, not as I do it Windsor's new motto.
It is funny isn't it? Makes me reflect back to all of the wasted hype surrounding Greenlink tunnels and parklands. If the city can't afford to cut existing boulevards and maintain public properties now, how do they expect to take care of these new added parks which they propose? This Mayor and his lacky council should stop wasting our time and money. They could have done just fine by taking care of the little stuff and letting the big stuff take care of itself.
In the new book, "The World Without Us," the author theorized what would happen if all of sudden every person on earth disappeared, what would happen to the planet. The author need look any farther than the total disappearance of city workers from the planet. Talk about greening the city with a WOW aren't those weeds high..WOW!
City workers are out now trimming the bushes but they have been at TIm Horton's for over 30 minutes...If they worked any slower they might be able to finish trimming the approx. 24 bushes by days end.
Well, at least it is getting done albeit at the very slowest pace.
You are most welcome!
I am really tired of the messy dumpsters outside of Big Tony's. I live on the northeast corner of Niagara and Monmouth, and their disorderly garbage often ends up over on the boulevard beside my house which I cut and maintain. It is a disgrace. And what an eyesore when we look out our side windows!
Ayyyyyy...those dumpsters! Not only do they trash up the hood but there is a family of skunks which dine there every night. Hate to see what happens if anybody bumps into one of those. The first question is: Why aren't those dumpsters kept on Big Tony's property? Does he think that patrons want to see his rubbish first before they eat? Some marketing. What bi-laws address this? P.S...As of today; August 20,the weeds have still not been addressed.
Keep complaining to the city and tell them you do NOT support a canal on the city centre west lands. You would rather they tackle the parks and streets we have now without buliding new ones!
Neighbours have been told that the boulevard is the responsibility of the adjoining property owner. Sure! The other side of the sidewalk is owned by the Francis family. Maybe we should commission a artist rendering to show them how spectacular it would look if the weeds were cut down.
