4.1 Traffic Issues and Safety on Wyandotte Street East
Inspector Andy Randall, Windsor Police Services is present and provides the following comments relating to traffic and safety issues on Wyandotte Street East:
- There have been 670 enforcement actions related to the corridor from Chilver to Lauzon
- The Road Watch Program is a City of Windsor community initiative that gives residents and visitors and opportunity to formally report dangerous and aggressive drivers to the police
- Blitzes are undertaken quite often as a deterrent to speeding.
- Traffic Complaints can be received under "Services" / "Reporting" / "Traffic Complaints" on the Windsor Police Service website ( police.windsor.on.ca/Pages/Home.aspx), or at the following link:
- coplogic.versaterm.com/dors/startreport/115839200/118377700/en
- Once the online complaints portal is accessed, citizens have the ability to report a specific Traffic Complaint regarding a specific driver/vehicle, or a general traffic complaint about traffic issues in their community.
- Complaints about a specific driver/vehicle will be dealt with through our Road Watch Program. In these cases, the registered owner of the vehicle will receive a letter from the Patrol Support (Traffic Branch) Staff Sergeant, regarding the driving habits of the person operating their motor vehicle.
- If the citizen's complaint is a general Traffic Complaint regarding such issues as speeding, stop sign violations, distracted driving, etc., a Traffic Enforcement Officer is assigned to liaise with the complainant, and take the necessary enforcement action.
- Windsor Police Services uses online Traffic Complaints to deploy resources in appropriate locations to ensure overall Public and Road Safety.
Inspector Randall advises he will report back on the viability of the Online Traffic Complaints being included in the City of Windsor 311 App.
