  • Preliminary Design of Bus Rapid Transit in the Southfield/Jefferies C
    GM Tlansportation Systems 4.0 INTERMEDIATE SERVICE IN THE SOUTHFIELD-GREENFIELD CORRIDOR The potential transit demand in the Southfield-Greenfield corridor, as estimated in Stage I, is not sufficient to support the non-stop (or one-stop) BRT service envisioned for the Southfield-Jeffries corridor, An intermediate stopping service is therefore proposed to provide improved transit service in the corridor, This section of the final report presents the analyses which led to the design of the Intermediate Service, Following an over­ view of the system, the evaluation of alternative routes and implementations is described. Then a summary of the corridor demand analysis, including consideration of potential demand for Fairlane, is presented, Finally, system cost estimates are presented. 4.1 Overview of Greenfield Intermediate Service The objective of the Intermediate Service is to provide a higher level of service in the Southfield-Greenfield corridor than is currently being provided by local buses with a system that can be deployed quiGkly and with low capital investment. The system which is proposed to satisfy this objective is an intermediate level bus service operating on Greenfield Road between Southfield and Dearborn, The system is designed to provide improved travel time for relatively long transit trips (two miles or more) by stopping only at major cross-streets and by operating with traffic signal pre-emption. The proposed system operates at constant 12-minute headway throughout the day from 7:00a.m. to 9:00p.m. During periods of peak work trip demand (7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 6:00p.m.), the route is configured so that direct distribution service is provided to employment sites in Dearborn and in Southfield along Northwestern Highway.

    Issue: Shopping Malls Shopping Malls By: Sharon O’Malley Pub. Date: August 29, 2016 Access Date: October 1, 2021 DOI: 10.1177/237455680217.n1 Source URL: http://businessresearcher.sagepub.com/sbr-1775-100682-2747282/20160829/shopping-malls ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Can they survive in the 21st century? Executive Summary For one analyst, the opening of a new enclosed mall is akin to watching a dinosaur traversing the landscape: It’s something not seen anymore. Dozens of malls have closed since 2011, and one study predicts at least 15 percent of the country’s largest 1,052 malls could cease operations over the next decade. Retail analysts say threats to the mall range from the rise of e-commerce to the demise of the “anchor” department store. What’s more, traditional malls do not hold the same allure for today’s teens as they did for Baby Boomers in the 1960s and ’70s. For malls to remain relevant, developers are repositioning them into must-visit destinations that feature not only shopping but also attractions such as amusement parks or trendy restaurants. Many are experimenting with open-air town centers that create the feel of an urban experience by positioning upscale retailers alongside apartments, offices, parks and restaurants. Among the questions under debate: Can the traditional shopping mall survive? Is e-commerce killing the shopping mall? Do mall closures hurt the economy? Overview Minnesota’s Mall of America, largest in the U.S., includes a theme park, wedding chapel and other nonretail attractions in an attempt to draw patrons.

  • Eastland, Westland Macy's Among 68 to Be Closed
    Eastland, Westland Macy's among 68 to be closed JC Reindl and Georgea Kovanis , Published 4:55 p.m. ET Jan. 4, 2017 (Photo: Getty Images file) Macy's stores at Eastland Center in Harper Woods and Westland Shopping Center will close later this year as the struggling department store chain continues to cope with the migration of shoppers to the Internet and away from many traditional malls. Stores at Lansing Mall and at Lakeview Square Mall in Battle Creek are also scheduled to close, bringing to 68 the number of Macy's stores to be shuttered sometime in early spring. There are 19 Macy's in Michigan and 730 stores in total. The closures are yet another challenge to the long-term health of shopping malls, which have long relied on department stores like Macy's as anchors to draw traffic. But retail experts say the era of the large department store is winding down as shoppers embrace Amazon.com and other websites and come to prefer smaller, specialty boutiques for their real-life shopping. “It's like two paradigms are ending — bricks and mortar and anchors," said Ken Dalto, a Bingham Farms-based retail analyst and management consultant. The last Michigan Macy's to close was in Northland Center in Southfield; it proved the death knell for what was the nation's first regional mall. Within weeks of the early 2015 news that Macy's was leaving, the mall announced that it would completely close. “It’s going to be very hurtful for both of them," Dalto said of the post-Macy's Eastland and Westland.

Detroit is a large metropolitan area of approximately 4,200,000 persons located in the southeastern sector of Michigan. Detroit has a well diversified, industrially oriented economy. However, its major economic strength still rests in the auto­ mobile and automobile related businesses. These businesses con­ cern production, service and sales and give the population of the city a wide diversity of interests and abilities. Funda­ mentally, Detroit is considered a working city. RALPH J. STEPHENSON CONSULTING ENGINEER The potential in Detroit for Multi Cinema is good in some areas but very poor in others. Successful penetration will probably be best gained by locating in presently unfulfilled theater market areas. In Chapter I the various possible locations considered are listed in priority order, the most desirable being shown first. In Chapter II a description of all theater o~rations in the Detroit metropolitan area is presented. Chapter III provides a detailed description of major corr~ercial facilities in Detroit, arranged by facility number as shown on location maps, one and two. Chapter IV briefly describes the techniques used in making the study. /l ~9. Ralph J~' Stephenson, P.E.
