Dequindre Cut Greenspace Planning Meeting Sat., March 1, 3:30—5:30 p.m.
You are invited to a March 1 advisory meeting in the DGC offices, 1900 E. Jefferson Ave. to give your opinion, along with area residents and other interested persons, on green uses for the areas surrounding the bike/pedestrian paths under construction on the Dequindre Cut*.
- A preliminary meeting was held February 16 in our offices.
- The March 1 meeting is sponsored by the Greening of Detroit and will be facilitated by Ashley Atkinson.
- The Greening of Detroit is proposing community garden options and possible fruit tree plantings on the Cut.
- The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy’s plan to install native plantings along the sides of the Cut has run into funding problems due to
project overruns. Plans are to plant grass as a low cost alternative.
Come and learn about other possibilities - The bike/pedestrian path will run from Woodbridge St. to Eastern Market.
- *The Dequindre Cut housed the former rail track that ran alongside the Vigliotti Bldg., and at one time provided commuter rail service from downtown Detroit to Pontiac.
