This is just a testement that detroit has lost so much industry. All this used to be railway with stops at dozens of wharehouses and plants, which helped to drive a better economy.
@TitaniumByFire But that's not much different from a lot of other cities. What the other cities have done is been better at replacing old jobs and adapting to a changing economy.
Absolutely. The Dequindre Cut is managed by the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. They offer 24/7 security. The trail has plenty of cameras and call boxes.
Cool ride, I just went down to the Cut yesterday to take some photos. Its such a cool place to see layers of graffiti and the city. It makes for a great adventure into imagination and inspiration..especially to artists.
The trail is 90% to 95% complete. I know there are some issues with utilities and the Antietam Bridge replacement. Note that this is just Phase I. Work is underway to connect it to the river and Tri-Centennial State Park.
Like the Riverwalk, the Dequindre Cut will be managed by the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and a world-class urban non-motorized trail.
@FunkieIntl: It's complete from the river walk to farmers market. There are talks of extending it all the way to 8 Mile and beyond and also adding light rail to the cut. That's why it looks as if one side is not finished, because that's where they want to add the light rail. These types of greenways is EXACTLY what the metro area needs!

As far as I know, yes, they will. I imagine that goes for quality graffiti art but not uninspired tagging.

YouTube provided the music. It was one of the options.

Benches will be added. Grant funding was awarded to pay for them along with other trail amenities.
