Yes! Ford should be making the next generation of busses and trains, not self-driving cars!

Ford should work with transit providers to develop mobility hubs that incorporate safe spaces to wait for the bus, use bike share, scooters or future vehicles. I would like to see permanent exhibits on the history of Corktown and transit. It would be good to help fix up Roosevelt Park, make it more accessible, provide community programming without displacing the people who frequent the park now.

The streets between Michigan Central & Michigan Ave need protected bike lanes and walking paths. Adding wayfinding and information kiosks as well as kiosks for mobility would be a great thing. Image if you don't have a phone or time to download an app but could use a kiosk to check bus schedules, buy bus passes or hail an Uber.

more affordable and quick service restaurants (under $10/meal) that serve healthy food. Also more shopping opportunities in general.

music, places to sit, water features

better public transit options, with high frequencyh especially rail transit.

Corktown and the surrounding area could benefit greatly from some basic things like : More trashcans (along Rosa Parks, south of Michigan Ave – there is litter EVERYWHERE), benches for people to sit, better pedestrian safety for crossing Rosa Parks, Michigan Ave, etc., better markings on the roadway at the intersection of 14th Street and Michigan Ave, more usable Bicycle racks (get rid of poorly designed Shinola-donated crap), traffic calming and/or permanent road closures in Roosevelt Park (there are so many little streets that are not useful and make the park feel so segmented), more trees and landscaping is always nice (native plants and rain gardens).

Places like the Riverfront, with multi-use pathways, nature, sculptures, play spaces for children, dog park, rain gardens (to help with crazy flooding), traffic calming. Permanently blocking off unnecessary little roads that go through Roosevelt park.

Basic bodega that sells reasonably priced food, snacks, produce, beer, etc.

Water park. Open space with nice grass. Native plant gardens.

Bodega

All ages programming

Scooters need to have geofenced return areas so they aren’t scattered everywhere. Make cross walks better defined, ADA accessible public spaces.

Encourage rent control for existing residents . Support historic building associations. Preserve all historic structures. Make new condos adhere to better aesthetic standards. No big parking structures. Plant native trees and wildflowers. Create native plant flood gardens. Talk to neighbors door to door to ask their feedback.

Make it a public space for all types of ppl. Not just rich execs from Dearborn

Start by covering the basics. Trash cans with scheduled pickup, street cleaning, clearing debris from storm drains, picking up the masses of trash already in the area, benches that don’t prevent homeless from sleeping

Reasonably priced convenience store. Please no bougie Plum Market like Henry Ford Hospital Pistons Center did.

More public bike racks in corktown

We need way more public trash cans in the corktown area. And the maintenance to regularly empty them. There are very few if any trash cans on Trumbull between Michigan Ave and Jefferson. Please use Ford money for simple improvements like this. Also please replace all the shinola bike racks on Michigan Ave with properly spaced upside down U-shaped standard bike racks.
