Which Streets Should Trucks Use in Windsor?

Official title: Truck Route Study

Closed Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation

Windsor has finished reviewing which roads trucks should use. The city wanted to balance moving goods efficiently with keeping neighbourhoods quieter and safer. City Council endorsed the new truck route network on July 14, 2025, and implementation is expected in fall 2025.

Why This Matters

Live near a busy road in Windsor? This decides whether trucks keep rumbling past your house—or get rerouted elsewhere. Noise, vibration, and safety on residential streets are all at stake. If you run a business that relies on deliveries, the new routes affect how goods reach you.

What Could Change

The city's Traffic By-law will be updated to designate new truck routes. Some streets currently used by trucks may become off-limits. Other roads may see increased truck traffic. The new network will be phased in over 20 years, with immediate changes in fall 2025.

What Happened

The Truck Route Study was endorsed by City Council on July 14, 2025. Implementation of the new truck route network is expected in the third quarter of 2025. The study went through four phases including public consultation events and surveys, resulting in a phased implementation plan spanning 0-5 years and 6-20 years.
