Corridor Studies in the Cities of Lincoln Park & Ecorse

The Cities of Lincoln Park and Ecorse are jointly conducting a corridor study of Southfield Road from the western border of Lincoln Park to the Detroit River. The purpose of the plan is to increase consistency of the built environment along the corridor, to improve its economic return, and to facilitate nonmotorized access to its business and recreation assets. In a closely related and parallel effort, The City of Lincoln Park is conducting a Transportation Equity Study for Fort Street between Champaign Road and Outer Drive. The purpose of the Fort Street study is to develop multi-modal transportation options that reduce longstanding social and economic inequities experienced by underserved and underrepresented populations.

A major component of both studies is community engagement. The Cities are gathering input from multiple groups to better inform the recommendations for improvements to these very important corridors. Thank you for your participation!
