Gordie Howe Bridge Opens for Pedestrian and Cycling Traffic
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, connecting Windsor and Detroit, is set to open its multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists on Wednesday at 8 a.m. The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) has advised travelers to exercise patience due to high anticipated foot and bike traffic. The path, which spans three kilometers, will initially have limited capacity to manage crowds and ensure smooth operations. The WDBA estimates the walk will take approximately 45 minutes, while cyclists can complete the journey in about 20 minutes. A 20 km/h speed limit is enforced on the trail. Travelers are required to carry their documents even if they don’t plan to cross into the U.S., as border processing will occur on both sides. Parking is not allowed at the ports of entry, so visitors are encouraged to park at Malden Park or Clark Park trailheads. The bridge authority emphasized the importance of following guidelines to avoid delays and ensure safety. This development marks a significant step in promoting active transportation across the border, offering a sustainable alternative to vehicular travel.

Committee meeting ends without vote on Conservative request to review Gordie Howe bridge revenue-sharing agreement
Liberal members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates voted to adjourn a committee meeting before a vote could be held on a Conservative motion seeking further scrutiny of the new Canada–U.S. revenue-sharing agreement for the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Conservatives argued the motion was necessary because they believe Prime Minister Mark Carney made inconsistent public statements about when Canada would begin sharing toll revenues with the United States. Under the recently released agreement-in-principle, Canada will transfer 50 per cent of the bridge's net toll revenues to the United States for the first 15 years after operating costs are recovered. Those funds will be directed to a U.S.-controlled economic development fund. Conservatives questioned why the agreement does not explicitly mention Canada's bridge financing and debt-servicing costs, despite earlier comments from Carney suggesting those costs would be accounted for before revenue sharing. Their motion sought the release of draft agreements, testimony from several federal ministers, and an analysis by the Parliamentary Budget Officer of the fiscal implications. Liberal MPs defended the agreement, emphasizing the economic benefits of opening the long-delayed bridge and arguing that the existing 2012 Canada–Michigan Crossing Agreement remains in force alongside the new arrangement. Some Liberal members acknowledged there had been initial confusion but maintained that the two agreements complement one another. Bloc Québécois members also raised questions about the agreement's financial impact and Canada's ability to repay the bridge's construction costs. Speaking later in Alberta, Carney defended the deal as a pragmatic compromise that secured the bridge's opening, arguing that the revenue concession represents a relatively small proportion of the bridge's overall cost.
