It's not hard to understand that this won't be good for potential development in the areas adjacent to the freeway. At least, areas trying to become or maintain a pedestrian friendly environment... This project is utterly hostile to the pedestrian.

While most cities are learning from past mistakes, Detroit is repeating them.
But think of all the Waffle Houses and gas stations you can build once you complete scorched-earth bulldozing!
