Dating back to 1926, Roseland is about to celebrate its centennial, but if it were up to the mayor and this city council, it may all get parcelled out for residential development before then.

The custodians of our sacred spaces now want to slaughter these spaces for commercial gain — really pathetic.
The worst part is that it’s been discussed in-camera, away from the public eye, since 2019. Thank you, Windsor Star, for reporting this.
I’m a 26-year resident of South Windsor, one of the last bastions of well-planned single-family homes in the city. This development goes against the character of the area, which the mayor and most of city council fail to see.
Fred Francis, we chose you for exactly this reason, keep on fighting for Ward 1, kudos to you. We don’t want this eyesore.
If the city deems that there’s extra land available at Roseland, put it to other recreational uses like tennis courts (there’s a shortage of them in Ward 1), or a well-designed banquet/multipurpose hall which can earn the city more revenue than the current clubhouse.
It behooves Windsor to maintain whatever recreational land we have left for that purpose — and not rile up the good residents of this city who pay ever-increasing property taxes.
