Green Ways – Parks and Greenspace
The Corktown-Mexicantown Greenlink will develop greenway linkages
connecting the Greater Corktown and Mexicantown/Hubbard Communities to
Detroit’s West Riverfront. These communities, fronting on the Detroit
River, are bounded by West Grand Boulevard on the West, Martin Luther King
Boulevard on the North, and the Lodge Freeway on the east. This project is
an integral part of a riverfront greenway plan that extends along the
Detroit River from Belle Isle to Riverside Park. It is part of a
far-reaching greenway system, now under development, extending into Monroe
County along the Detroit River and to the western suburbs along the
Rouge River. Ultimately, seven Southeastern Michigan counties will be
interconnected by this greenway network...
