Every school, and its ride to the Greenway

Thirty-eight schools sit within a few miles of the corridor. Pick one to trace the route a kid would ride. Solid line is open today; dashed is still under construction.

Our vision for the Joe Louis Greenway

The Greenway runs through Detroit, Hamtramck, Highland Park, and dozens of neighborhoods in between — connecting schools to homes, homes to workplaces, and neighborhoods to each other. Most people who live a block from it do not know it is there. Every program we run is one more piece of a plan to make it the spine of how Detroit moves.
