New pedestrian infrastructure upgrades are planned to make downtown Detroit safer and more accessible for residents and visitors.
The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) was awarded a $2 million MSF performance-based grant that will improve areas such as, fence posts to cordon specific areas, safety barricades that will protect pedestrians from traffic and events, as well as five pedestrian bridges over high traffic streets.
Eric B. Larson, DDP’s CEO says, “This is an opportunity to improve existing infrastructure and test new interventions as we improve access, connectivity and mobility that can be leveraged for a variety of events including the Detroit Grand Prix’s move Downtown.”
