I normally either agree with you, or can totally see where you are coming from... But it is becoming more and more clear that GPP rushed this project through, didn't consult their neighbor [[which I was taught as a child that you should do, as A Good Human Being, even if your neighbor is trash) and did not consider any implications beyond "We make street pretty so much walkable great success for city!!".
And anyone who says Detroit should "focus on their streetlights and blah blah blah", Detroit has departments within their governmental structure that are specifically tasked with investigating issues such as these. To say that Detroit shouldn't pay attention to things like this is, in my opinion, wrong. If Detroit doesn't investigate this issue, it'd be setting an example that says "Yeah, we really don't care about these kinds of things", and lord only knows that'd mean LBP would build a Berlin wall on the median of 8 Mile.
