The makeover will be held over three Saturdays in May. The city’s 1st and 2nd districts will be “made over” on May 2\. They are on the west side. Work will be done in the 3rd, 4th and 5th districts on the east side on May 9\. The 6th and 7th districts in central and southwest Detroit will be tackled on May 16.
