    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.

  • Detroit–Shoreway Neighborhood Plan Summary
    DETROIT-SHOREWAY NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUMMARY Description. Development began in the neighborhood in the 1850s along Detroit Street (Avenue), a major route connecting Cleveland with regions to the west and serving as the neighborhood’s main commercial district. Beginning in the late 1890s, industries began locating along the rail lines on the bluffs overlooking Lake Erie and then began to develop further to the south, along the rail lines running through the Walworth Run Valley. Detroit-Shoreway was built as a middle-income neighborhood, with a mix of single- and two-family homes and small multi-family structures, with more architecturally distinguished homes constructed along Franklin Avenue. There is still a strong presence of Italian and Romanian-American ethnic communities. In recent years, new waves of immigration have brought growing numbers of Hispanic and Asian residents. Assets. Among the neighborhood’s most significant assets are: • its proximity to Lake Erie and Edgewater Park • the West 65 th /Detroit retail district anchored by the Gordon Square Arcade and a growing cultural, performing arts and entertainment environment • a regionally renowned antiques and collectibles district on Lorain Avenue between West 45 th Street and Clark Avenue • the Eco-Village, an environmentally sensitive new housing development built in conjunction with adjacent rapid transit and recreational amenities at West 65 th and Lorain • new housing projects such as Ashbury Tower and Battery Park on former industrial sites Challenges. Among the challenges faced by the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood today are: • creating stronger connections to the Lake Erie shoreline • the cost to clean-up contaminated industrial sites for reuse • attracting more retail uses to serve the shopping needs of residents • improving the appearance along the main commercial corridors of Detroit and Lorain • poor housing conditions in the neighborhood south of Lorain Avenue Vision.

  • The Legacy of Bicycles in Detroit Michigan: a Look at Greenways Through Time Todd Scott Detroit Greenways Coalition Todd@Detroit
    The Legacy of Bicycles in Detroit Michigan: A look at greenways through time Todd Scott Detroit Greenways Coalition [email protected] Gwen Gell Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning University of Michigan [email protected] Greenways are constantly evolving and changing infrastructure. Greenways are trails accessible to non-motorized forms of movement which provide ecological, transportation, and connective functions within an urban area. For the purposes of this piece, the term “greenways” also includes bicycle infrastructure on roadways. As a city’s land uses change, new administrations come into power, and the economy fluctuates, greenways and bicycle routes shift. This brief report highlights the change in greenways overtime in an effort to illustrate the story of non- motorized transportation in the City of Detroit. Detroit’s topography is favorable to bicycles. The expansive flat land makes for a pleasant experience biking thought the city. While there has been an increase in ridership and bicycle infrastructure in recent years, the known legacy of bicycles began prior to the automobile and contributed to the development of the Motor City. Timeline Pre-1700 Established Native American networksi throughoutii the regioniii were the first greenways in Southeast Michigan. Early surveyors map the trails created and used by the Anishinaabe, Wyandot, Iroquois, Fox, Miami, and Sauk tribesiv. The present-day grid patterns of the region follow these original Native American pathways. 1701 Cadillac establishes Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit - this is considered the ‘founding’ of the modern City of Detroit 1851 The first velocipede is for sale in Detroit 1868 On December 18th, on Jefferson Avenue, the Detroit Journal reports the first velocipede ride in Detroit.

  • Diets of Low-Income Families in Cleveland, Detroit, and Syracuse^
    DIETS OF LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN CLEVELAND, DETROIT, AND SYRACUSE^ by D o r o t h y G. W i e h l h e average weekly food supply of families in various low-income groups and of families dependent on relief is presented in this report for about three hun­ T dred families in Cleveland, Detroit, and Syracuse. The fami­ lies were selected at random from those living in the poorer neighborhoods of these cities and were visited by special enumerators who questioned the informant about the food bought and amounts used during one week. In all three cities, the data were collected between April 24th and May 15th. The amount of wages or other income and the sources of income were obtained also for the week for which the food supply was recorded. After classifying the families according to their weekly income per person, the average quantity of various foods or groups of foods was computed for the fami­ lies in each income group. The quantities represent the family food supply, some of which will be wasted. But no allowance for waste has been made in calculating the average diet and calories because waste is such a variable factor in households and some allowance for waste or margin of safety is included in standards for adequate diet. The numbers of families in the various income classes in each city are small and may not be entirely typical of fami- ^From the Division of Research, Milbank Memorial Fund, and the Office of Statistical Investigation, United States Public Health Service.

We have worked with the belief that we possess the ingenuity to find the “solve.” This is the report that we’ve been waiting for, a wake-up call for those who need waking, a pathway to catalyze public and private sector leaders who are ready to embrace a new model for economic mobility based on fairness and opportunity. The pandemic laid bare inequities 400 years in the making, deeply embedded in the design of our institutions, laws, and systems. Today, at one end of the economic spectrum, the wealthiest increasingly garner the gains, while at the other, low wages are a given. For all but the wealthiest, economic life becomes more and more precarious; for the poor, poverty becomes ever more a trap.
