Today’s feature conversation is about a proposed downtown Warren concept, that would transform land next to Warren’s city hall into a hotel, 500 apartments, dining and restaurants.

To discuss it and the merits of the project from his perspective, David Gifford joins us. He’s a Warren resident and runs Transit Guide Detroit on Twitter.

> Since I’m on the subject of downtown Warren, this is the original village of Warren & it’s newest park. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting next to an 8-lane 50 mph road. To me this area has much better bones than the municipal complex. Why not develop both? [pic.twitter.com/jyEDgqUk6w](https://t.co/jyEDgqUk6w?ref=dailydetroit.com)

**Plus some news stories around town:**

We now have the cost to rebuild I-75 in Troy, plus how long it’s going to take.

The new greenway that will be finished later this year down the old Jos. Campau from Jefferson to Vernor has a proposed name – the Dennis W. Archer Greenway. I also share some details on the project in case you’re not familiar.

Royal Oak’s Social District is opening this weekend, letting you take to-go drinks around downtown Royal Oak near Main Street.

Stay as dry as you can out there. We had a record rainfall for July 16, 2021 – 2.13 inches. You know, we’re supposed to get 3.16 the entire month of July.
