East Jefferson Improvements

East Jefferson is one of Detroit’s great streets and serves as a key corridor connecting strong neighborhoods with the riverfront, Belle Isle, and Downtown.

The first step towards improving Jefferson was to address safety as it is one of the City’s highest crash corridors, especially for people walking and biking. Earlier this year, the City installed a temporary design as part of the Eastside Bike Network that in part will inform how East Jefferson could be transformed.
