More Streetscapes coming, along with improved DDOT

[Russix]

Can we work on fixing the normal streetlights and the regular sidewalks before we try getting fancy? When is the last time you saw a streetsweeper? The roads and sidewalks are covered in grit scraped up from the winter plowing. Streetscape improvements are nice, but basic maintenance is better.

This funding source does not cover maintenance costs.

The DDA can pay for maintenance, and can even bring in outside companies to do it.

Does anyone know if there are any DDA/TIF maps out there showing which areas are in a DDA or TIF?

Oakland County has a great set of maps for all of their DDAs and TIFAs.

I couldn't find any maps for Detroit online. Detroit's TIFA covers the Poletown plant area. It's separate from the DDA which mainly covers downtown.
