This is so silly and destructive it leaves one breathless.The only part of the city that has any spark if life is downtown.
And getting there requires a car run through the most violent city in the country.
Sooooo.
Let's make it much more inconvenient for those with money to visit.
And replace that highway with a "walkable ambiance" that might as well be a synonym for "Knock-out game Detroit".
Ya kant fix what dont want ta be fixed.......
No more I-375? Detroit to study removing freeway in favor of walkable surface street | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"For the first time in a half century, Detroit could follow a national trend and remove aging I-375, cutting off express downtown access for tens of thousands of motorists a day in favor of a pedestrian-friendly parkway connecting Lafayette Park and Eastern Market with the central business district.
Turning the trench-like interstate that runs from I-75 near Gratiot south to Jefferson Avenue into a surface street would make for easier connections between residential areas on the east side and central downtown.
Creating that walkable ambiance would come at the cost of high-speed connections on I-375 that suburbanites take to reach the Renaissance Center, Cobo Center and other downtown destinations."
