City of Windsor – Transport Terminal Land Use Study – 2020 November 16

Figure 4 - Transport Terminal - Example 3

Figure 4 is another example of a partially paved transport terminal, also in Windsor. A garage and office are located within the building. In this image, tractors are parked at the front and the top of the image, though a different image in Google Maps shows trailers along the top of the image, with motor vehicles parked in the bottom left of the image. This facility also repairs trailers, which partly explains why some trailers are stored in a less than accessible manner.

Figure 5 - Transport Terminal - Example 4

Figure 5 is an example from the Greater Toronto Area of what may be called a trailer parking area, sometimes utilized by independent operators. Typical characteristics include little to no paved area, no buildings or structures to serve as an office and/or garage, trailers stored around the perimeter of the site, tractors attached to trailers instead of being parked in a separate area, and personal motor vehicles parking adjacent to, or in, trailer storage spaces. These developments may appear overnight on lands that have long been vacant and are possibly a result of the legislation discussed under Federal & Provincial Regulatory Environment in Part 2.
