Where Should Trucks Drive in Windsor?

Official title: Truck Route Study

Closed Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation

Windsor is updating which roads trucks can use. The city wants to balance moving goods efficiently with keeping neighbourhoods quieter and safer. A final plan was endorsed by Council in July 2025, with implementation expected in fall 2025.

Why This Matters

Live on a busy street in Windsor? This decides whether trucks keep rumbling past your house—or get rerouted elsewhere. Noise, safety, and even property values are at stake. Business owners care too: the routes affect delivery times and costs.

What Could Change

Some residential streets may be removed from the truck route network, meaning fewer heavy vehicles. Other roads—especially near industrial areas—may be added. New rules could restrict trucks over 4,500 kg from certain neighbourhoods entirely.

Key Issues

Which streets should be designated as truck routes?
How can truck traffic be kept away from residential areas?
How should the network serve new industrial and residential developments?

How to Participate

Review the Council Report with the final proposed truck routes.
