As you can see in the video below, a major overhaul of the triangle-shaped park has gotten started in earnest, with work to be completed in the summer. Businesses will remain open.

This one has been a long time coming. Big parts of a plan from 2017 will be put into place. Historically, the park had more green space and was more welcoming than the current design.

Rendering via the Downtown Detroit Partnership

What's coming? The Downtown Detroit Partnership says:

- Softening the park by adding new gardens
- Permeable surfacing (it allows water to go through instead of pool or have to be handled by sewer systems)
- Expansion of the dog park and lawn
- A new canopy of trees
