Listening, Learning, and Leading Together

MDOT has been hosting community-focused meetings since the environmental phase of the project in 2014.  Since that time there have been 12 public meetings and 150 + one-on-one stakeholder meetings. These meetings provide a space for residents, business owners, and stakeholders to share feedback, ask questions, and stay informed about key decisions.  As the project moves into the design and construction phase, MDOT is planning several more engagement opportunities, including discussing the new boulevard design, neighborhood enhancements, traffic operations during construction, and business opportunities. These meetings ensure that the project reflects the needs and priorities of those who call Detroit home.

Your opportunity to share feedback, ask questions, and stay informed

Community Meetings

MDOT hosts community meetings to create an inclusive and welcoming space where community members can come together to learn about the project, ask questions, share their lived experiences, and contribute valuable input. These gatherings are designed to foster open dialogue, encourage ongoing public involvement, and ensure that the voices of those most impacted by the project are heard and reflected in the decision-making process

Local Advisory Committee (LAC)

The Local Advisory Committee (LAC) is a group of residents, interest groups, businesses, and community representatives who are helping inform and develop plans for the project. They are sharing ideas and insights to guide land use plans, community enhancements, and the early design for the project. The goal is to make sure everyone’s voice is heard and create a space that truly reflects the needs and vision of the people who live and work here.

Government Advisory Committee (GAC)

The Government Advisory Committee (GAC) is a group of government representatives who are engaged to provide input and inform their constituents on plans for design and aesthetics components of the corridor, the neighborhood framework and community enhancements plan for the Project. The goal of the GAC is to facilitate two-way communication with communities, provide independent and local perspective and input, and actively participate in the process to identify mutually agreeable solutions.

Business & Workforce Development

MDOT aims to honor the legacy of the Black Bottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods by supporting local, minority-owned businesses and workforce development through pre-construction, construction, and post-construction services. This will involve outreach programs focused on training, recruitment, and connecting small businesses with opportunities throughout the project.

One-on-One Meetings

The project team is committed to fostering open, two-way communication with the community, ensuring that stakeholders’ voices are heard and valued. We hold one-on-one meetings with community members, providing a space for meaningful dialogue and collaboration. These conversations allow us to gain valuable insights, respond to questions, and work together to create solutions that reflect the community’s needs.
