I recently contacted the Detroit Building Authority to protest the closure of Abbott Street between Third and the Lodge Service Drive. They quickly sent me back a very nice letter telling me that the closure could not be avoided, in the interest of security for the new public safety headquarters.
I am now thinking about my next steps, and whether its worth my energy to continue fighting this closure. Can anyone tell me who has ultimate decision making authority for this kind of project, and what means the public has to participate in this decision, if any?
Also, what do others think? Will closing Abbott really improve safety of a building that can still be approached from several sides?
Thanks,
