There appears to be some disagreement amongst some local developers in Windsor on whether a street should be allowed to remain as a dead-end or be built another few hundred metres to connect Payzant Dr to King St/ NS Hwy 1.

The street in question is set to receive a traffic circle at Wentworth Rd, and is home to the local hospital and a large high school (which currently sits at the dead-end).

One developer, who has invested heavily in building homes and now apartment buildings would like to see Payzant connected to King, making ease of access and egress for the hospital and high school for residents who live on the south side of the town/region. It would cut the 4km loop into a 400m straight route.

Municipal officials though, have given a new developer (who is constructing 3x 4 story apartment buildings and townhouses at the dead end) 7 years to possibly make the connection.

From a common sense approach, to me it would seem ideal to work on the connection sooner than later. It will be interesting to see what comes first....the extra traffic and no second egress point or the connection to King st.
