Something needs to be done along the Transway 1C corridore. There is too much traffic. Howard avenue is 6 lanes infront of Devonshire mall and the traffic still gets backed up several intersections behind. And it's getting worse. BRT in this corridore would need it's own lane. LRT would be nice, but there is really no where to build it, unfortunately. Maybe some day who ever is in charge of this will do something about it.

KW, Hamilton, Ottawa and Toronto are all either adding or expanding their Rapid Transit services. Most of this expansion is being paid for by the federal gov't. The only thing Windsor has done in the last 5 years is add 29 Hybrid buses. Several neighbourhoods have deficient or no transit service. I think it's Windsor's turn to do something.

Maybe a raised rail over Oullette (downtown) to Howard (devonshire mall) to division to provincial (Legacy Park). It would be pricey, of course, but it would be an excellent solution.

Any thoughts?
