$21 million development with apartments, parking garage, retail planned on Jefferson

[JonWylie]

I really hope this development is successful. I would love to see East Jefferson take off and become the spine of successful new developments from the river north to Lafayette from downtown to The Villages. There are already quality enclaves there with supporting retail and recreational infrastructure. Some well thought out infill developments could really solidify that as Detroit's number 2 spur behind Woodward.

Hopefully as development grows down Jefferson, the City has the forethought to reserve some space on the river for the public. If the armory or UAW training ever come on line, hopefully there's a consideration for public space.

You mean like the East Riverfront Framework Plan?

Honestly, there's already a healthy amount of public space along the riverfront. Some of it, such as Brush-Ford and Angel Park, among others, are under-utilized. The framework plan is more about tieing these areas together and providing for complete streets and easier access.
