Windsor Way is a special community street that links four parks and three elementary schools as well as a bike path in East Vancouver, Canada, which was identified as a local Greenway in the (Kensington-Cedar Cottage Visioning process ). As there was no funding available to turn the many blocks of this street into a local Greenway, the local community worked with the City of Vancouver planning department to implement a demonstration project called "Blooming Boulevards". This demonstration project allowed residents to garden the frontages of their yards between the street and the sidewalk. This section of street contains the wires and ducts of the city, and this was the first time that gardening on these city owned frontages was allowed. The program was so successful that Blooming Boulevards are now city policy and boulevards are now gardened throughout the city. ==Bike Route == The Windsor Bikeway is a 4.3 km north/south bike route that follows Glen Drive and Windsor Street from Great Northern Way to 43rd Avenue and was chosen for its proximity to Knight Street. This route provides a connection for the Off-Broadway and 10th Avenue Bikeways to the Midtown/Ridgeway and Inverness Bikeways. The Windsor Bikeway passes through (Mount Pleasant ) and (Kensington-Cedar Cottage ) neighbourhoods and goes by Memorial Park South. Measures along the proposed bikeway to reduce vehicle speeds and to help cyclists cross busy arterials include traffic circles, corner bulges, centre medians, speed humps, and traffic lights controlled by cyclists and pedestrians. Estimated cycling time for the full length of the Windsor Bikeway is 18 minutes. A leisurely walk from 12th Avenue to 49th Avenue along Windsor Way will take 30 minutes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Windsor Way (Vancouver)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
