    DETROIT'S MILWAUKEE JUNCTION SURVEY HAER MI-416 Milwaukee Junction HAER MI-416 Detroit Michigan WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA FIELD RECORDS HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD DETROIT’S MILWAUKEE JUNCTION SURVEY HAER MI-416 Location: Milwaukee Junction, Detroit, Michigan The survey boundaries are Woodward Avenue on the west and St. Aubin on the east. The southern boundary is marked by the Grand Trunk Western railroad line, which runs just south of East Baltimore from Woodward past St. Aubin. The northern boundary of the survey starts on the west end at East Grand Boulevard, runs east along the boulevard to Russell, moves north along Russell to Euclid, and extends east along Euclid to St. Aubin. Significance: The area known as Milwaukee Junction, located just north of Detroit’s city center, was a center of commercial and industrial activity for more than a century. Milwaukee Junction served, if not as the birthplace of American automobile manufacturing, then as its nursery. In addition to the Ford Motor Company and General Motors, many early auto manufacturers and their support services (especially body manufacturers like the Fisher Brothers, C.R. Wilson, and Trippensee Auto Body) were also located in the area, probably because of the proximity of the railroads. Historians: Kenneth Shepherd and Richard Sucré, 2003 Project Information: The Historic American Engineering Record conducted a survey of Detroit’s Milwaukee Junction, a center of auto and related industrial production, in summer 2003. The City of Detroit and the city’s Historic Designation Advisory Board sponsored the survey.

    City of Detroit Michael E. Duggan, Mayor 2018-2019 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER) Donald Rencher, Director Housing & Revitalization Department 2 Woodward Avenue, Suite 908 Detroit, MI 48226 The Flats at Modern City CR‐05 ‐ Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year. The City of Detroit is progressing in carrying out its 5‐year Consolidated Plan strategy and is implementing action plan projects that support it. For an example, the Blight removal and Demolition strategy, although the focus was shifted towards using CDBG funds for commercial structures, and abandoned public schools, however, other city (non‐federal) funding sources will be used for residential properties. The Department was granted approval to extend housing affordability with existing HOME developers and borrowers. Some of these projects were nearing the end of their respective affordability periods, and are no longer able to keep pace with increasing overhead costs to make required repairs. Through efforts of a new Affordable Housing Strategy Plan, the City of Detroit will play a key role in its ability to retain existing residents, attract new residents, and preserve affordable housing in City’s new affordable housing strategy plan. Also, through negotiated partial loan payoffs and loan modifications, the City was able to keep these projects on‐going to completion. This year the City continues to implement its major housing rehabilitation programs throughout the city using a loan program and grants to stabilized neighborhoods.

    URBAN RENEWAL HISTORY OF DETROIT 1946-1970 Jean Marie Erntcq Junior Fellow International Urban Studies Center for Urban Studies Wayne State University Detroit, Michigan March, 1972 1 A. Redevelopment and Conservation- History and Lessons 1. early History Following World War If Detroit, as many other cities, had to face a number of problems stemming from the prewar depression and the wartime con- ditions, A severe housing shortage and a serious overcrowding of residential facilities were created by the prewar construction inactivity, the wartime influx of workers in search of employment and the increase in the number of employment and the increase of births. At the same time, the flight of middle- and upper-class families to the suburbs began, while low-income fam- ilies moved in the older sections near the central business district. These factors resulted in the aggravation of economic and social problems facing the city: urban blight and suburban flight, The Detroit Plan, made public on November, 1946 by Mayor Jeffries, was designed to deal with these problems: the proposal was to acquire a hundred acres of land, to demolish the slums and improve the land for resale to private developers for residential use. Since no federal legislation was enacted to help cities at that time, this ambitious project was to be undertaken by the city on its own. The cost, apparently very heavy, was planned to be reduced by higher return in tax revenue, allowing a fifteen year amortization, This plan was the result of 20 years of discussions and proposals. ,a) 20 Years of Discussions Concomitant with the growth of interest by private groups- such as Church, labor, and industrial Leaders-official notice was registered by public agencies on the problem of slums and blight.

Active members of the OPEN-Maps faculty working group include Erin Chambers (St. Louis University), Ranthony Edmonds (the Ohio State University), Parker Edwards (University of Notre Dame), Vladimir Kogan (the Ohio State University), and Ari Stern (Washington University). Version 1.0 | August 26, 2021 1. COI clusters 1 COI clusters This is an initial round of COI clusters, or "emergent COIs," extracted from public commentary from March through July. We will produce a second and nal round incorporating August submissions as well, to be delivered on September 1. We chose a data resolution that produced 36 clusters, which are numbered A1–A36. This choice can be varied, but it’s important to consider usability by the commission, balanced with ensuring sucient richness of the supporting data. We begin with summary descriptions of the COI clusters around the state, followed by heatmaps, followed by the raw testimony that supported each cluster. 1.1 Summary descriptions and heatmaps Cluster A1. (7 submissions) Core Upper Peninsula. Submissions emphasized a strong Upper Peninsula regional identity. This region also identied three main zones: communities bordering Lake Superior, communities bordering Lake Michigan, and those that border the Wisconsin border.

  • Chapter 6 Final Section 4(F) Evaluation
    6.0 Final Section 4(f) Evaluations 6.0 FINAL SECTION 4(F) EVALUATIONS FOR THE WOODBRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORIC DISTRICT, I-94/M-10 INTERCHANGE, SQUARE D/DETROIT FUSE & MANUFACTRING BUILDING, AND THE UNITED SOUND SYSTEMS RECORDING STUDIOS Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966 states that the Secretary of Transportation will not approve any program or project which requires the use of any publicly owned land from a public park, recreation area, or wildlife or waterfowl refuge, or any land from a historic site of national, state or local significance unless: 1. There is no prudent and feasible alternative to the use of such land, and 2. Such program or project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to these resources resulting from such use. The Recommended Alternative will not use any publicly owned land from a public park, recreation area, or wildlife or waterfowl refuge. Each parcel was reviewed to assess whether it was or was not a publicly owned land for a park or recreation area. The Wayne State University land purchasing agreements along I-94 were reviewed, as well as the University policies and Master Plan to ensure that the property was not subject to 4(f). Archival research and surveys were undertaken to determine whether the Recommended Alternative would impact historic sites of national, state, or local significance. Archival research relating to both prehistoric and historic period land use within the planning corridor was conducted, and a detailed land-use history summary was prepared. In addition, a block-by-block windshield inspection of nearly 300 city blocks was conducted, covering an area of nearly 2,400 acres.
