WHY CHANGE?

“Detroit is at a crossroads.  I have said it before and I will say it again --we cannot operate the way we did 50 years ago or even 10 years ago.  Change is at our doorstep, whether we like it or not. We have two options. We can choose to continue fighting change. Or we can embrace this opportunity to shape a new legacy to proudly hand down to our children and grandchildren. It is that simple.

WHY CHANGE?

Touched approximately 5000 Detroiters through Phase meetings

Responded to over 500 service requests

Top three things we heard from the community during Phase I:Improve essential city services NOW - Public Safety: Response time & residency- Blight Elimination: Illegal dumping & demolition- Vacant land: Impact on neighborhoods & acquisition process

Transportation improvements needed:- Regional light rail and bicycle safety & accessibility

Use of vacant land: - Greening & sustainability initiatives and economic

development

Phase 1 Update

WHY CHANGE?

Take action while planning

Public Safety- Internal, operational changes - Homes for Public Safety Officers

Blight Elimination- Bing 3,000 first year- Bing 10,000 first term

Vacant Land- Acquisition/assembly of key vacant parcels- Enhance opportunities for residents/community based organizations to acquire property

Near-Term Priorities Informed by Phase 1 Feedback
