There was this one part of Riverview that has interested me, to be specific, the area between Pennsylvania Road and Colvin Street and between Clark and Electric Streets.

That area is currently mostly fenced-off forest, except for several grassy plains and a DTE substation at Pennsylvania and Electric. If you look carefully, you'll notice the remnants of a street grid. This 1949 aerial photo better shows this [[the area discussed is highlighted in red).

So the question is, what happened to this part of Riverview? Was it a proposed postwar neighborhood that was supposed to be developed, but pretty much died off by 1967? Did any fears of the '67 riots extending Downriver kill this? Plus, what were the names that were supposed to be given to any streets that would be built here?
