As a gateway to the City of Windsor, the corridor presents opportunities to involve local communities in transforming their environment. Traveling along its 2 km length, visitors will experience a new conception of the urban landscape - shifting from a concrete jungle to a 'regenerative green zone' where landscape is emphasized. http://www.greencorridor.ca/
