The opening of the pedestrian and cycling path on the Gordie Howe International Bridge is more than a new way to cross the border.

C4C’s Communications and Research Associate, Kaitlyn DiPietro, joined AM800’s Dan MacDonald to discuss the significance of this milestone and what it could mean for the Windsor-Detroit region. Their conversation explores:
– The continued and expedited need for safe, well-designed active transportation infrastructure
– New opportunities on tourism, economic impact, environmental impacts and cycling research
– Strengthening connections between communities, cities, and countries
– Why investments in active transportation infrastructure make the case for advancing initiatives like the City of Windsor’s Vision Zero strategy to improve safety for all road users

As this new cross-border connection opens, it also creates opportunities to better understand how active transportation infrastructure can shape healthier,  connected, and more vibrant communities.
