There was a post either on this forum [[or another forum) about how the business owners along Livernois HATE the median, because it makes it harder for patrons to access their establishments. Specifically, the well-known fish & shrimp houses that were based in the city for decades [[Dot & Etta's, Miley & Miley's, O'Quins, etc.) said they saw a major drop in business after the median was added, and now all of them are closed permanently.
If the goal was to reduce the roadway size [[and I don't think it was, instead it was merely a beautification project, because no other roadways in the city have seen a reduction in their lanes and the southern part of Livernois is still just as wide), they could have done it the Woodward way instead of adding the median.
