City of Detroit issued the following announcement on Aug. 21
Businesses along a 1.2-mile stretch of Livernois that is undergoing a $17 million reconstruction and streetscape redesign have a message for their customers: “Forget what you’ve heard about construction challenges; we are open for business and getting to us is easier than you think!”
After a period of intensive construction and limited access due to the removal of the controversial median and the roadway itself, Livernois is now populated with free and convenient off-street parking lots offering a total of 150 spaces with ample signage to direct motorists. There also is a free shuttle between noon and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday stopping at each of these free parking locations. The shuttle stops every 15 minutes, helping customers get to their destinations, where and when they want.
This all means that access to Livernois businesses is the easiest it has been since the start of construction.
“It’s getting easier and easier to get around Livernois as construction continues, and with the shuttle, free parking and now the forgivable loan program, we are feeling good about access to our businesses,” said Hugh Smith, owner of Baker’s Keyboard Lounge. “Now we need more people to come down, check us out and patronize the Avenue of Fashion. The construction hasn’t stopped us and it shouldn’t stop anybody from seeing everything Livernois has to offer.”
