BIA Looking For Streetscape Funding

Wyandotte Town Centre BIA is hoping for city support of its streetscaping plans.

In 2013 the BIA held a competition to choose the design of the streetscaping which Architechura Inc. won with its design of a world marketplace.

Now the BIA is looking for $1-million in funding from the City of Windsor in order to help with phase one of the project. The BIA is also committed to paying for a portion of the project costs.

"We want to really focus on the aesthetic. There will be banners running across the street in certain sections, something very colourful, very festive and really bring a bit of life to our area," says BIA Chair Tamara Kowalska.

Kowalska says they want to revitalize the neighbourhood and are looking for council's support.

"This is a win-win situation. We've seen several examples of what happens when we focus on making a neighbourhood appealing, people come to it, there's more street traffic, there's less crime," says Kowalska.

The BIA will appear before council Monday night when budget deliberations are scheduled.
