I guess the city got some bids from developers but yanked the proposal;s to again look at the master plan for the neighborhood?
Anyone know of anything?

No, but it would be nice if the community could see what type of proposals the city was getting. The proposals themselves might not have been any good or the master plan might need some refinement to reflect more current and sustainable trends. There's no way to know without transparency.
whats RFP?
Apparently, the city had yanked the RFP so that developers could update their designs that take into account the Red Wings arena. A new RFP will be issued for Brush Park "soon".

This makes sense.
West of Woodward will be more entertainment and office and East of Woodward more housing and small retail.
I would suspect if we look at the 2020 Census of Population and Housing this will be the population growth will be in the city.
Potential to create a new neighborhood.
Yes, we certainly wouldn't want to do anything to upset Mikey.Apparently, the city had yanked the RFP so that developers could update their designs that take into account the Red Wings arena. A new RFP will be issued for Brush Park "soon".

I will once again take this opportunity to pedal my idea for the Brewster site: a large recreational center with softball fields and soccer/football pitch, preserving the 'Joe Louis Gym' as part of the facility [[see above Freep link). Line Beaubien St. and Wilkins St. with mid-rise housing and/or townhouses, with access points to the fields that will be behind them, overlooking the skyline.
After the Brewster demolition is done, there will be an overwhelming amount of vacant land between John R and the I-75 service drive in that area. I'm hoping for some middle/upper middle class housing or apartments. With the new stadium district/Downtown/Midtown all within a 2 minute drive, that has to be one of the best locations in the city.
