Just when you think that we have a perpetual uphill battle before us pertaining to the notion of alternative transportation in this - the automotive capital of Canada, you get word of news like this.Philanthropy is usually geared towards high-profile needs such the need for a new MRI or cancer clinic. Rarely do you see the proceeds going towards preventive measures such as bicycling infrastructure. That is why I wanted to spotlight some anonymous donations made to the City of Windsor for the purpose of undertaking bikeway initiatives.
A number of generous donations have been received by the City of Windsor since 2000 from an anonymous donor within the community who has been liaising with the Manager of Council/Community Services & Deputy Clerk for the purpose of undertaking bikeway related initiatives within the city. Since 2000, the city has received donations totaling $282,288.65 with the most recent donation of approzimately $97,000 having been contributed in November of this year.
Whom ever you are Mr/s Anonymous Donor, on behalf of every resident in this fair city, THANK YOU very much for your incredible generosity. Future generations of Windsorites will be healthier both physically and economically because of your investment in this cities transportation infrastructure.
