My top ten:

1. Gilbert gives up on the Monroe Blocks project and just converts it into permanent park space.
2. Additional mid-rise projects are announced in Corktown and New Center as space in Midtown starts becoming sparse.
3. Wings somehow make their way back to the Stanley Cup Final, Lions somehow make their way into the NFC Championship, Panthers recover from their awful first season in the USFL, DCFC wins a championship.
4. As the Woodward Corridor downtowns become too crowded, the downtowns of Wyandotte and Dearborn become the latest hipster spots.
5. A movement for countywide transit in Wayne County gets underway as SMART's Oakland County expansion and DDOT Reimagined get underway.
6. The first Detroit Grand Prix in downtown in the 21st century gets huge crowds.
7. A surprise development project is announced for the Fail Jail site.
8. The last retail and restaurant tenants left in the RenCen close their doors.
9. Michigan continues its population decline.
10. The Pontch's proposed second tower gets built.
