While the deal is complex, everyone is hopeful that ownership of a 3-acre share of park property would help in a quest to build a second bridge over the Detroit River in to Canada. Duggan said he supports the proposal for both bridges, reiterating that this deal is an example of how the city is willing to let go of age old conflicts in order to move the city forward. This redevelopment plan not only improves the park, it gives the old Michigan Central Station the improvements that it needs.
“I think we’re going to see the day that the depot will get renovated, will get rebuilt, will get people moved in and will get reused,” Duggan said. “The international images that have been shown of Detroit of a train station with the wind blowing through will be a thing of the past.”
