VAUPOTIC, Louis
Candidate for Mayor
In their own words
This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.
Where they stand
Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.
Taxes & spending
What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Emergency services

Transit
Can I get where I need to go without driving?
Vaupotic opposes the Amtrak plan and instead proposes a gondola/vertiport/ferry multimodal hub tied to the Gordie Howe Bridge.
- Opposes a once-daily Amtrak train to Windsor, arguing it would weaken the anticipated result for the city.
- Proposes a multimodal international transportation hub consisting of a gondola, a vertiport and a ferry, calling it 'the hands down correct path for Windsor.'
- Envisions a pedestrian pathway starting downtown, crossing the new Gordie Howe bridge and back, with the $2.24B redeveloped Detroit Ren Cen enabling the project.
- Says the vertiport would connect industry and educational institutions on both sides of the border.

“I will go against the wisdom of Dilkens and firmly indicate that the once daily Amtrak train to Windsor will weaken the anticipated result for Windsor, and suggest my multimodal international transportation hub consisting of a gondola and vertiport and ferry is the hands down correct path for Windsor.”

Economy
Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?
Vaupotic says his cross-border transit hub is the only plan that will revitalize downtown Windsor.
- Claims he is 'the only person that will revitalize downtown Windsor,' just as the bridge has started to revitalize Sandwich.
- Argues Caesars Windsor struggles to fill shows and the solution is widening its geographic drawing area via his cross-border transit proposal.
- Frames the choice as gondola versus observation Ferris wheel, noting both would cost tens to hundreds of millions, and says income generated could be redirected to other city uses.
