New Student Housing At UDM

[DetroiterOnTheWestCoast]

I don't think that anyone ever posted about Mayor Duggan's "20 Minute neighborhood" plan as outlined at the Mackinac policy conference. I watched this entire 47 minute clip a few weeks ago, and it was quite interesting. I recall hearing something about student housing, so I reviewed it today.

The Mayor goes into detail about plans for the area between Marygrove and UDM, including restored housing and a greenway among other things. At about the 19 minute mark, he mentions that a plan for student housing south of UDM is being worked on.

This "20 Minute Neighborhood" plan is also in the works for West Village and SW around Clark Park. Plans for WV always interest me, being a former resident. At the 20:18 mark, the screen shows what appears to be new townhouses at Van Dyke and Coe, I believe. That would be great!
