On today's Daily Detroit, we're thinking about green spaces and trails.
J.J. Tighe, who is in charge of parks and trails at the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, talks about what they're doing. It's not just about building; it's about connecting people and making it easier to get around.
The trails are meant to help people get to different places and also boost the economy in the areas around them.
We talk about some important projects, like the Downriver Link Greenway. It connects 18 towns south of Detroit to the Joe Louis Greenway in the city.
There's also the Bridge to Bay project, which is trying to connect Port Huron and St. Clair. Another project is the Wixom, Walldale, and Commerce township lake-to-lake trail, with eyes on downtown Pontiac.
We also share an in-depth update on the West Riverfront Park, now known as the Ralph Wilson Centennial Park. The park is set to open in October, and Tighe shares some of the details that make it so special — a park aims to be a landmark that the city can be proud of for years to come.
