A tour of Downtown Detroit that many of us that drove those streets should find interesting.
What a change.

Excellent video. Thanks much for that link. Whoever took that video was a genius to do it after a rain shower; the streets just glistened!

I'll be back in about five months to do my own drive-through!

I saw this months ago since I've followed this guys channel for awhile. He does these driving tours in cities across the world it's definitely worth checking out

For comparison this is his Detroit video from three years ago.

Wow a lot had changed on Woodward in the 2 short years. The plaza on Woodward at Jefferson was a huge mistake

Was downtown late Dec visiting. I could not believe the pedestrian activity on Woodward at 7 pm. Felt like a real city. Awesome to see how far things have come since I first was downtown in 03. Bravo

It causes a bottleneck of traffic during rush hour. The island in the middle of Woodward could had been removed and the sidewalk area widened in front of the Spirit of Detroit widened into a plaza

I agree, its horrible at both ends of the workday, especially around 5 pm..That plaza is empty most of the time, and isnt attractive at all. Personally I feel its better to have Woodward open to Jefferson.
