The dirt parking lot along Ash St. from 4th to 5th St. is set to be converted into a paved parking lots to allow additional parking for residents, business owners and tourists to utilize the downtown area. The paving of the lot will provide a more stable, durable surface for parking and pedestrian use, improving safety and accessibility. Along with the paving, the project includes replacing the existing sanitary and water lines within the lot to ensure the infrastructure meets modern standards and supports future needs.
This project follows the approval of Windsor's ballot measure 200 during the January 2023 special election. Measure 200 rezoned the dirt lot to be used solely for parking purposes, limiting its use to parking and preventing other types of development in the area. This rezoning maintains the lot's role as a key parking area, while also ensuring that it meets the needs of both current and future users.
These improvements will not only create a more efficient and safer parking area, but also help with better drainage and long-term sustainability of the site.
More details about the project are available via the What's the Word, Windsor? Podcast, where project managers of various construction projects speak more on the impacts anticipated through the summer.
