Transit Windsor:

Campbell NE Corner and Campbell at Tecumseh NE Corner. These bus stops can’t be moved for this development and must remain located where they are due to driveways being located on the other sides of the intersections where our guidelines state that we don’t impede driveway access with bus stops. Based on the drawings, it doesn’t appear that the existing bus stops will be impeding any proposed driveways as the one bus stop located on Campbell appears to be just south of the proposed driveway access. These bus stops will be maintained with our Council approved transit master plan with a new primary route and a new secondary route. There is also a shelter and bench located on Tecumseh in front of this property at that bus stop that will remain.
