Hey, easy there on the desire for free parking. You may offend a lot of Windsorites as we all love feeding parking meters and getting parking tickets...
If memory serves me correctly, at the intersection of St. Rose(formerly Intersection Rd.) and Fairview on the southwest corner, the name Intersection Rd is still inscribed on one of the sidewalk slabs.
