@kimseverson @nytimes Thank you for writing this.

… by saying the community has been engaged enough. And that we don’t understand the complexity of the project.

@wdet @SHDetroit I-375: if the state insists that they cannot pause road design work to get the vision right, then they could win public support by demonstrating how they’re speeding up work on a vision and framework. Instead they’re punching down…

@gmangan79 @SHDetroit !

[WDET 101.9FM @wdet]

In part six of Detroit Today’s “Reckoning: 375” series, @SHDetroit will discuss the city’s role in the I-375 project and what might happen to nearby communities if the highway is removed 🛣

Tune in Friday at 9 a.m. on 101.9 FM, https://t.co/y0iiziBi8R or the WDET app 📻

MDOT is delaying its next public meeting on the removal of I-375 to 2024.

"Based on your constructive feedback the project team has decided to modify its approach."

Some of the feedback: https://t.co/Q2MVM5Rejt

@PolarBarrett @ZWeiss91 @axios The jobs, talent, & people and the infrastructure places workgroup recs are more relevant than the edu one on the topic of making a desirable place for recent grads to stay

The MDOT project has drawn heavy scrutiny from residents who feel the design lacked public input. Feedback sessions are ongoing.

"The world stopped in 2020, and MDOT didn’t...That doesn’t mean it’s some big, evil conspiracy, but it also doesn’t mean the traffic engineers had everybody on board." - @bryanboyer

This quote, right here. Rather than “Fix the Damn Roads,” we should have a goal for Michigan that says “Make Michigan Walkable Again.”

[bryan boyer @bryanboyer]

MDOT’s process of community engagement has amounted to regular updates with little discussion of substantive topics like justice, project values, or pedestrian safety. Zero indication of how discussion is folded into the plan. This is not “rich and thorough.”

[bryan boyer @bryanboyer]

“The state and the city developed the [I-375] with such rich and thorough community input that we were able to avoid layers of review that might otherwise have been necessary and get through NEPA more quickly.” - Sec. Buttigieg

@UMichPrezOno and team got the U-M Center for Innovation in Detroit approved!

To celebrate, I wrote a (fictional) portrait of 24 hours in the life of the center as it may feel in 2033:

@markasaurus @LangeAlexandra @kelseykeith Was thinking the same thing. This guy looooooved niches.

[bryan boyer @bryanboyer]

Hey @IKEsmartcity @orange_barrel, what's with you installing your kiosk right in the pedestrian pathway on the sidewalk in Detroit (Lafayette at St Antoine)? Do you... hate pedestrians?

[bryan boyer @bryanboyer]

Sure, go right ahead and install giant monolith thing right in the… checks notes… middle of the sidewalk!

[bryan boyer @bryanboyer]

@jmfowl security or insulation?
