Broadway Street Multi-Use Path and Malden Park Trailhead
On September 19, 2025, the Gordie Howe International Bridge project team and the City of Windsor announced the opening of the Broadway Street multi-use path and Malden Park Trailhead. This new active transportation feature connects Malden Park to the Gordie Howe International Bridge, where people can use the bridge’s multi-use path to walk or cycle to the United States. In addition to the path, a new trailhead has also been installed at Malden Park to provide path users with a safe place near the Bridge to meet and park.
The new Broadway Street multi-use path extends approximately 0.6 kilometres from the current Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) trail at Ojibway Parkway to an existing municipal trail at Matchett Road. This connection indirectly links to broader regional trails including the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway Trail in Canada and the Joe Louis Greenway, Great Lakes Way and Iron Belle Trail in the United States.
Funding for the Broadway Street multi-use path connection and Malden Park Trailhead was provided by the Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Plan. Community consultation identified active transportation investments as a priority, especially a possible connection to the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway Trail.
Construction began in June and was completed in September. The path and trailhead are now part of the City of Windsor’s municipal trail network
