It seems as if the Ford Aud. is now completely demolished. Does anyone know of a link to the RFP [[request for proposal) for Hart Plaza's renovation/construction?
I remember seeing images of it containing much more greenspace, but I am not sure if those are the same images from the 2007 plan, which I believed failed.
There's no money to do anything other than sod and plant a few trees where Ford Auditorium stood. They should look at selling naming rights to raise some cash for redevelopment.

The city seems pretty good at proposing things that never take fruition. I think it'll stay fenced off to the public for a few years [[see Tiger Stadium). Hey, wasn't this demo supposed to be for 60 days? It took them 7 months??
Following the same path as The Wolverine, Hudson's, Madison Lenox, etc. "Coming soon - parking lot":cool:
Hey, at least Tubby's is a Michigan based company!Quote:

well-maintained park space would be nice.. we'll see.. the parking garage is still active?
I've seen tents up on the small patches of grass before. Not sure if they were homeless or if they were just families looking to spend a day on the water. 90 percent of Hart plaza is pavers or concrete. Would make for hard camping.Quote:

They pulled the same crap with Tiger Stadium. Several RFP's where submitted and there was funding in place to make it happen, and the city turned them all down.
