I wasn't there, but someone told me at the Downtown Detroit Partnership meeting yesterday they discussed the possibility of joining the two sections of Grand Circus Park to make one larger park that is much more usable. They'd still have M1 go through, but Woodward would be shut off and you'd have to drive around the park.

Apparently this is just a brainstorm with no real plan in place, but it definitely intrigues me. I don't think it's too much of a hassle to drive around the park and if this allows the park to become much more pedestrian and event friendly I'd be down.
