Southwest Greenway Opens as Detroit’s Newest Public Space

A new jewel has been polished and added to the precious necklace of public spaces that encircle the neighborhoods across the city of Detroit, and this latest link represents an historic investment that creates greater access to the riverfront for the residents of Southwest Detroit.

On Wednesday, May 24, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy (DRFC) invited city, state and county officials, project funders and Detroit residents to celebrate the official opening of the Southwest Greenway, a paved walking trail and bike path running from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Centennial Park on West Jefferson to Bagley Street. The greenway connects the Detroit Riverfront to Michigan Central and the Joe Louis Greenway. The greenway will connect the riverfront to surrounding neighborhoods – specifically Mexicantown and Corktown – providing easy access and a beautiful public space for Detroit residents and visitors.

“The grand opening of the Southwest Greenway is the perfect occasion to celebrate the tremendous progress of the Unified Greenway Campaign, which will complete and sustain the Detroit Riverfront and Joe Louis Greenway for generations,” said Matt Cullen, Chairman, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and architect of the Unified Greenway Campaign. “The early success of this campaign thanks to our funding partners, together with the City of Detroit’s commitment of ongoing support, is historic for our community and is nationally significant in the development of urban public spaces.”

Mayor Mike Duggan spoke about the transformation of the relationship that Southwest Detroiter’s have had over the years with the riverfront. “For more than 100 years, the people of Southwest Detroit experienced the riverfront negatively,” he said. “Talk to somebody from Southwest Detroit, and (they say) it is noise. It is odors. It is traffic.”

The mayor spoke about the jewel that nearby Riverside Park has become and another jewel on the way in Roosevelt Park in front of Ford’s Michigan Central historic renovation project, all of which will be “eclipsed” by the Ralph C Wilson Centennial Park on the riverfront at Rosa Parks Blvd. “Today, the Southwest Greenway is going to connect Roosevelt Park and the train station to Centennial Park,” Duggan said. He concluded that projects like the Southwest Greenway and connected parks systems are transforming our neighborhoods “from blight to beauty.”

Ford Motor Company contributed $5 million to the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy for the $8 million Southwest Greenway. The balance of the funding for construction of the greenway was provided by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan Department of Transportation and the Walters Family Foundation.

“We are proud to partner with the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and Mayor Duggan to create a public space for the community to enjoy,” said Mary Culler, Chair of Michigan Central and President of Ford Motor Company Fund. “The Southwest Greenway will connect Detroit to all that we are building at Michigan Central and will help strengthen community bonds by joining the west side, east side, and northern neighborhoods of our city.”

Current Conservancy Board member, longtime resident of Southwest Detroit and author of “Detroit’s Mexicantown”, Maria Elena Rodriguez was excited about what the Greenway represents. “The new Southwest Greenway is an example of the vision that defines the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. Who would’ve thought that an abandoned stretch of land from Bagley to Jefferson Avenue would be turned into an oasis? It’s a peaceful stretch of elements from big rocks, a graffiti museum and thoughtful design. I encourage everyone to bike ride, skate, or walk on the smooth pavement. This was built with you and your family in mind. Enjoy it!”

A Unified Campaign

The celebration also included an announcement of more than $70 million in new funding for the Unified Greenway Campaign, a collaborative effort to raise $350 million which will be used to complete the world-class Detroit Riverfront, fund construction of the Joe Louis Greenway, and create an endowment that will support the maintenance and operation of both projects for future generations. In April, Mayor Duggan’s administration and City Council collaborated to authorize the City of Detroit’s commitment to providing up to $6 million per year to support the operations and maintenance of the Detroit Riverfront and Joe Louis Greenway.

The Unified Greenway Campaign is an unprecedented partnership which includes the City of Detroit, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, and the Joe Louis Greenway Partnership (JLGP). Launched in early 2022, the campaign is a unique collaboration of corporate, philanthropic, and governmental funders. The campaign has raised $229 million in less than two years, making it one of the most successful campaigns in the country.

The $70 million funding announcement serves as a catalyst for the campaign and will have a profound impact for Detroiters. With lead gifts from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation ($35 Million), William Davidson Foundation ($20 Million), Gilbert Family Foundation ($15 Million), W.K. Kellogg Foundation ($5 Million), the Unified Greenway Founding Partners have committed more than $70 million to ensure this transformational project is maintained for generations.

“This is a historic moment as we join together to celebrate what has been built on our Riverfront over the last 20 years, an incredible vision to connect neighborhoods across our City, and a collaboration forged across public and private partners that will ensure this Unified Greenway will provide enjoyment today and for generations to come,” said David Egner, President & CEO, Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation.

“In our effort to better connect this region and its people to one another through the Foundation’s Parks & Trails initiative, the Detroit Riverfront and the Joe Louis Greenway are at the center of it all uniting the city of Detroit and its neighboring communities. We are proud to have been a supporter from the initial framework and community engagement to the capital support and sustainability.”

“The William Davidson Foundation is proud to be among the many partners involved in this transformational effort to further enhance the community we call home,” said Darin McKeever, President & CEO, William Davidson Foundation. “This Detroit community raised the bar for welcoming, world-class public spaces when it set the ambitious vision for the Detroit Riverfront 20-plus years ago. We believe the Joe Louis Greenway and the Unified Greenway Campaign will raise that bar even higher – demonstrating once again how great public spaces improve quality of life for neighborhood residents and drive broader economic development for our city and region.”

With this public announcement, the campaign has raised a total of $229 million toward the $350 million goal, with generous support from government, philanthropic, and business leaders. This total includes approximately $150 million in public funds from the State of Michigan, Wayne County, and the City of Detroit.

Previously announced commitments to the Conservancy from the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation, Ford Motor Company and Huron-Clinton Metroparks support the goals of the Unified Greenway Campaign.

The transformational project consists of a connected system of public greenspaces that will link Detroit’s revitalized riverfront to 23 Detroit neighborhoods and the cities of Highland Park, Hamtramck, and Dearborn, and internationally to Canada.

In addition to the Gilbert Family Foundation gift of $10 million to the campaign, the foundation has committed an additional $5 million to establish an accompanying economic development strategy.

“Strong communities begin with stable housing, but come to life in vibrant, connected public spaces,” said Laura Grannemann, Executive Director of the Gilbert Family Foundation. “This unprecedented partnership and investment into the Joe Louis Greenway will create more connectivity for Detroiters – connectivity to public space, jobs and each other.”

The results of the campaign will deliver quality-of-life benefits, turn blight into beauty, catalyze new and equitable economic development opportunities, and improve access and transit options citywide.

Each year, 3.5 million people visit the Detroit Riverfront. The Detroit Riverwalk has been named the Best in the U.S. three years in a row (2021, 2022 and 2023) by USA TODAY.

Southwest Greenway una nueva vía ecológica

Enlaza la ribera del río Detroit con Michigan Central, Mexicantown, Corktown y las colonias del suroeste de Detroit.

Una nueva joya ha sido pulida y añadida al precioso collar de espacios públicos que rodean los vecindarios de la ciudad de Detroit, representando una inversión histórica que crea un mayor acceso a la ribera del río para los residentes del suroeste de Detroit.

El miércoles 24 de mayo, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy (DRFC) invitó a los funcionarios de la ciudad, el estado y el condado, a los financiadores del proyecto y a los residentes, a la inauguración oficial de Southwest Greenway, un sendero pavimentado para caminar y andar en bicicleta que va desde Ralph C. Wilson , el parque Jr. Centennial en West Jefferson hasta la calle Bagley. Ésta vía verde conecta la ribera del río Detroit con Michigan Central y Joe Louis Greenway; uniendo al río con los vecindarios circundantes, específicamente Mexicantown y Corktown, brindando un fácil acceso y un hermoso espacio público para los residentes y visitantes.

“La gran inauguración de Southwest Greenway es la ocasión perfecta para celebrar el exitoso progreso de la Campaña Unified Greenway, que completará y conservará la ribera del río Detroit (Riverfront) y Joe Louis Greenway por generaciones… El éxito inicial de esta campaña ha sido gracias a nuestros socios financieros, junto con el compromiso y apoyo continuo de la ciudad de Detroit; es histórico para nuestra comunidad y es importante a nivel nacional en el desarrollo de espacios públicos urbanos” comentó Matt Cullen, presidente de Detroit Riverfront Conservancy y arquitecto de la Campaña Unified Greenway.

El alcalde Mike Duggan habló sobre la transformación en la relación que los habitantes del suroeste de Detroit han tenido a lo largo de los años con la ribera del río. “Durante más de 100 años, la gente del suroeste de Detroit ha visto de forma negativa esta proximidad…Al hablar con cualquier habitante éste diría que genera ruido, olores y tráfico”.

El alcalde enfatizó sobre la joya en la que se ha convertido el parque Riverside y del otro fantástico proyecto en proceso en el parque Roosevelt, frente a la histórica renovación de la Estación Central de Michigan por Ford, todo lo que será impactado por el parque Centenario Ralph C Wilson a la ribera del río en el Bulevar Rosa Parks. “Hoy, Southwest Greenway conectará el parque Roosevelt y la estación de trenes con el parque Centenario”, mencionó Duggan y concluyó en que los proyectos como el Southwest Greenway y los sistemas de parques conectados están transformando los vecindarios, llevándolos “de las ruinas a la belleza”.

Ford Motor Company contribuyó con 5 millones de dólares con el Detroit Riverfront Conservancy para el Southwest Greenway del total de 8 millones de dólares. El saldo de los fondos para la construcción de ésta vía verde fue proporcionado por la Fundación Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., el Fondo Fiduciario de Recursos Naturales de Michigan, el Departamento de Recursos Naturales de Michigan, el Departamento de Transporte de Michigan y la Fundación de la Familia Walters.

“Estamos orgullosos de asociarnos con Detroit Riverfront Conservancy y el alcalde Duggan para crear un espacio público para el disfrute de la comunidad”, dijo Mary Culler, presidenta de Michigan Central y de la Fundación Ford Motor Company. “El Southwest Greenway conectará a Detroit con todo lo que estamos construyendo en Michigan Central y ayudará a fortalecer los lazos comunitarios al unir los vecindarios de nuestra ciudad”.

María Elena Rodríguez, miembro actual de la Junta de Conservación, residente del suroeste de Detroit y autora del libro “Detroit’s Mexicantown”, está entusiasmada con todo lo que representa Greenway. “El nuevo Southwest Greenway es un ejemplo de la visión que define a Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que un tramo de tierra abandonado desde Bagley hasta la Avenida Jefferson se convertiría en un oasis? Es un tramo tranquilo de elementos con grandes rocas, un museo de grafiti y un diseño bien pensado. Animo a todos a andar en bicicleta, patinar o caminar sobre el sendero. Esto ha sido construido pensando en usted y su familia. ¡Disfrútelo!”

Una campaña unificada

La celebración también incluyó un anuncio de más de 70 millones de dólares en fondos para la Campaña Unified Greenway, un esfuerzo de colaboración para recaudar 350 millones de dólares, que se utilizarán para llevar al Detroit Riverfront a un nivel de clase mundial, financiar la construcción de Joe Louis Greenway y crear una dotación que apoyará el mantenimiento y operación de ambos proyectos para las generaciones futuras. En abril, la administración del alcalde Duggan y el Concejo Municipal colaboraron para autorizar el compromiso de la Ciudad de Detroit, de proporcionar hasta 6 millones de dólares al año.

La Campaña Unified Greenway es una asociación sin precedentes que incluye a la Ciudad de Detroit, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy y Joe Louis Greenway Partnership (JLGP). Lanzada a principios de 2022, la campaña es una colaboración de corporaciones, organizaciones filantrópicas y gubernamentales, que ha recaudado 229 millones de dólares en menos de dos años, lo que la convierte en una de las campañas más exitosas del país.

La Campaña Unified Greenway anuncia más de $70 millones en nuevos fondos

El anuncio del financiamiento de $70 millones, es un catalizador y tendrá un gran impacto en los habitantes de Detroit. Con donaciones de la Fundación Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. ($35 millones), la Fundación William Davidson ($20 millones), Fundación de la Familia Gilbert ($15 millones), W.K. Fundación Kellogg ($5 millones) y los socios fundadores de Unified Greenway han comprometido más de $70 millones para garantizar que este proyecto de transformación se mantenga durante generaciones.

“Este es un momento histórico en el que nos unimos para celebrar lo que se ha construido en nuestra ribera durante los últimos 20 años, una visión increíble para conectar los vecindarios de nuestra ciudad y una colaboración forjada entre socios públicos y privados que garantizará esta vía ecológica, proporcionará el disfrute de hoy y de las generaciones venideras”, dijo David Egner, presidente y director ejecutivo de la Fundación Ralph C. Wilson, Jr.

“En nuestro esfuerzo por conectar esta región y su gente a través de la iniciativa Parks & Trails de la Fundación, Detroit Riverfront y Joe Louis Greenway hemos estado en el centro de todo, uniendo a la ciudad de Detroit y sus comunidades. Estamos orgullosos de haber sido partícipes desde el inicio, con el compromiso de la comunidad hasta el apoyo de capital y sostenibilidad”.

“La Fundación William Davidson se enorgullece de estar entre los socios involucrados en este esfuerzo de transformación para mejorar aún más la comunidad a la que llamamos hogar”, dijo Darin McKeever, presidente y director ejecutivo de la Fundación William Davidson. “Esta comunidad elevó el nivel de los espacios públicos de clase mundial, cuando estableció la ambiciosa visión de Detroit Riverfront hace más de 20 años. Creemos que Joe Louis Greenway y la Campaña Unified Greenway, enaltecerán este sitio aún más, demostrando cómo los grandes espacios públicos mejoran la calidad de vida de los residentes de las colonias e impulsan un desarrollo económico más amplio para la ciudad y la región”.

Con este anuncio público, la campaña ha recaudado un total de 229 millones de dólares (con una meta de 350 millones), gracias al generoso apoyo de líderes gubernamentales, filantrópicos y empresariales. Esto incluye aproximadamente $150 millones de fondos públicos del estado, el condado de Wayne y la ciudad de Detroit.

Los compromisos previamente anunciados con TNC por parte de Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation, Ford Motor Company y Huron-Clinton Metroparks respaldan los objetivos de la Campaña Unified Greenway.

El proyecto de transformación consiste en un sistema conectado de espacios verdes públicos que conectará la ribera revitalizada del río Detroit con 23 colonias de Detroit y las ciudades de Highland Park, Hamtramck y Dearborn, e internacionalmente con Canadá.

Además de la donación de la Fundación de la Familia Gilbert Family de $10 millones, ésta se ha comprometido a donar $5 millones adicionales para establecer una estrategia de desarrollo económico complementaria.

“Las comunidades sólidas comienzan con viviendas estables, pero cobran vida en espacios públicos vibrantes y conectados… Esta asociación e inversión sin precedentes en Joe Louis Greenway creará más conectividad para los habitantes: en cuanto a espacios públicos, trabajos y socialización”, mencionó Laura Grannemann, directora ejecutiva de la Fundación de la Familia Gilbert. “

Los resultados de la campaña mejorarán la calidad de vida de las comunidades, embellecerán el espacio, generarán oportunidades de desarrollo económico y optimarán el acceso y tránsito de la ciudad.

Cada año 3,5 millones de personas visitan la ribera del río Detroit y el Detroit Riverwalk ha sido nombrado el mejor en los EE. UU. tres años seguidos (2021, 2022 y 2023) por USA TODAY.
