Hey guys! I am currently working on a research project at MSU on the downsizing of Detroit and how mass transit can help. In the process we are focusing on 3 neighborhoods/areas and using the data to come up with recommendations and take the Detroit Works project further.

The three neighborhoods I have chosen to analyze are West Village, the University District/Corridor, and the area east of Eastern Market bounded by the Dequindre Cut to the West, Mack Avenue to the North, and Gratiot Avenue to the South and East.

I am looking for as much history and data I can find on these areas. Right now I am mainly looking for the history of these areas. Any help will be much appreciated and could even end up in the final report.

Thank you!
