If Detroit Tunnel Goes on the Block, Windsor Wants It – Canada Real Time – WSJ.
Debt-laden Detroit, which filed for bankruptcy last week, isn’t planning to sell off assets to pay back its creditors. But if any Detroit assets do go on the market, a Canadian mayor says there’s one his city wants.
It’s not landmark sites like the world-class Detroit Institute of Arts, the 982-acre island park of Belle Isle, or the 125-acre Detroit Zoo that Windsor, Ontario Mayor Eddie Francis has his eye on. Rather, the neighboring Canadian city wants full ownership of the busy underwater Canada-U.S. tunnel that runs between the cities.
