Big Box articles

Had to do a quick post about two Windsor Star articles

"Rising fuel costs means communities have to be designed in ways that encourage people to get out of their automobiles, Hillman said. ...

Mayor Gary McNamara agreed there have to be options to “big box” commercial developments largely accessible only to consumers with vehicles.
“There’s no question we need to change how we define and build our communities,” the mayor said."

To me it seems like Windsor and Tecumseh politicians are racing to build as many big box unwalkable developments as they can before their respective planning departments issue the reports we know will conclude the building of these are poor planning.

Lets hope that the Windsor Planning Department report does not get delayed or hidden in an attempt to slide a few more Big Box Developments under the wire.

There definitely needs to be some follow up posts on this topic
