Detroit has long been a city optimized for automobile traffic, with freeways taking you anywhere in a matter of minutes. On the other hand, moving around the city on foot has been a consistent challenge. The Joe Louis Greenway is a step in addressing this challenge. The 27.5-mile walking and biking trail loops around the city, connecting the riverfront, Highland Park, Dearborn, and Hamtramck. The path adds more greenery and safe, accessible mobility options in a city that has long lacked those options. But what’s next for the greenway? A new interview from Daily Detroit looks at the events, community involvement, and future plans: https://lnkd.in/d9tuGb6d
