69% Informative

The town of Amherstburg has issued a notice to the island’s developer, Amico Affiliates , warning that legal action could be pursued if a more reliable ferry service is not provided soon.

The island's main ferry, the Ste . Claire , has faced numerous issues over the years , most recently in January , when it was out of service for four days after heavy ice flows in the Detroit River damaged the vessel.

There are 16 active listings on the island, ranging from residential homes to vacant land.

Amherstburg council directed that the developer be formally apprised of the town’s interests and its legal position to require the developer to outline the immediate steps to rectify this situation.

“The town understands the importance of safe and reliable ferry service for the residents of Boblo Island ,” the town said in a statement.
