The final layout of the roadway cross section will be presented. MDOT and the City of Detroit are seeking community feedback to finalize midblock and other additional pedestrian crossing locations, and to discuss options for additional streetscape amenities. The final design community review meeting will be held in early April with construction planned for this summer.
