I wish this had been implemented. Connecting Mt. Elliot to Grand River would have transformed the near-east side. The criss-crossing network of streets may have helped stem the northward flow of commerce. I would still love to see some form of this implemented. If there is to be any new streets built, now is probably a better time than 1915 when it comes to logistics.

This comes from the 1915 Preliminary Plan of Detroit by Edward Bennett. There are many more interesting and excellent proposals that I have yet to make jpegs out of.

I'd love to find out why these proposals failed too.

It's things like this that get me down at the library looking through microfiche.
