City seeks to beautify "drab grey eyesore"

The City of Windsor is turning to the public for ideas on ways to make the Goyeau Street Parking Garage a sight to behold.

"It's a drab grey eyesore right now," complained Mayor Drew Dilkens.

The city has finalized the sale of the Canderel Building parking garage and will use the money to fix up the garage on Goyeau St. downtown.

"We're set for improvements like better lighting and security, but when it comes to the aesthetics, that's where we want to hear what residents envision," said Dilkens.

He suggests sending the city pictures of garages in other cities that have features that could be incorporated into the structure here. Written suggestions are also welcome.

Suggestions will be accepted until September 14, 2018, and can be submitted either by calling 311 or emailing ideas to www.311@citywindsor.ca.
