^ That's the only reason those homes are still standing. Windsor is preventing any demolition in the entire Sandwich neighbourhood claiming that it's a historic area that should be preserved. The homes adjacent to the bridge have no historic value at all but since they fall in the boundaries of Sandwich, they can't be demolished.

Everyone knows the bylaw was only made to prevent the twinned bridge - it's just a game the city is playing but it has the support of most city residents.

It has caused problems though...some people in the neighbourhood have applied to demolish their old garages but they can't even do that because of the bylaw.
