AmericaJR’s Gloria and Jerome Rzucidlo recently visited the newly transformed Roosevelt Park in Detroit. The city of Detroit spent $6 million to renovate the park and increased its size from 9.5 acres to 13 acres after removing the road in the middle. It also includes a promenade connecting Michigan Avenue to The Station, a new pedestrian gateway entrance at Michigan Avenue, key neighborhood entryways and walkways, plaza spaces, event lawns, benches and tables for seating and landscaping. The newly-unified park will serve as an amenity, not only for southwest Detroit residents but also for the 5,000 workers who will be employed at Michigan Central.
