Bagley Streetscape Project

The redesign of Bagley from 24th Street to the I-75 Service Drive has created a versatile "shared street." This curb-less street now accommodates both traffic and business needs while also serving as a lively plaza for special events. The project features enhanced lighting, brick pavers, landscaping, and decorative elements, making it a more welcoming space for residents, visitors, and businesses. 

What changes happened?

The Bagley Street project introduced several key changes: new roadway pavement, updated underground infrastructure, festoon and traditional lighting, street furniture, brick pavers, and enhanced landscaping. These upgrades were designed to create a more attractive and welcoming corridor where neighborhood businesses can prosper. The improvements support all modes of transportation—walking, biking, transit, and driving—making the area safer and more accessible for everyone.

New Art Sculptures (2024)

Detroit artist Elton Monroy Durán added life-size sculptures of “alebrijes” for the Bagley Street Mexicantown streetscape.  These fantastical creatures, inspired by traditional Mexican folk art, are crafted from car parts and celebrate the rich contributions of the Latino community to the Motor City. You can now see the five "Alebrijes" in Bagley today.
