Most Anticipated Public Safety Challenges

This assessment has identified the most likely public safety issues/challenges that are anticipated, requiring the attention of the Windsor Police Service. These need to be recognized and addressed by the applicant to ensure an adequate maintenance of public safety, security, and general public order. In no particular order these are:

LOITERING AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT

Based on reviewing the proposed site and the physical circumstances that exist, there would be some discernible risk of loitering and disorderly behaviour, althoug this is somewhat mitigated by the high amount of surrounding random traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian in nature) which helps to “self police” such a problem. Loitering represents something often correlated with disorderly conduct and needs to be prevented. Windsor Police will certainly be responsive to this through regular patrols and incident responses but the owner should remain vigilant of activity I and around his/her store during operating hours to ensure safety. If such activity was to establish and continue without being managed properly, there will be a negative impact realized for adjacent land uses and the community.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION SAFE VEHICULAR ACCESS

The site’s access will be achieved directly off of Cabana Road, which could become congested during busier periods, most notably when the store first opens or during any promotional events. Special attention to traffic congestion and flow may be warranted in such circumstances, particularly in light of already heavy volumes of traffic in this general area due adjacent businesses and the nearby, busy Cabana @ Howard intersection.
