Update on the Joe Louis Greenway Project, construction is already underway on two segments of the greenway, the first, Warren to Joy will open next Spring, the second segment, Joy to Fullerton, expected to open next fall. Other segments of the greenway will start construction in 2023 and 2024, with total completion of the 27.5 mile greenway expected in 5-10 years depending on the availability of funding. This project will certainly be a game changer for Detroit's neighborhoods. It reminds me a lot of the Beltline project in Atlanta. I expect this greenway to be one of the premier urban bike/walk trails in the nation when its finished.
New Joe Louis Greenway will stretch through 23 communities, 4 cities

Its impact "will extend far beyond the boundaries of the path itself, creating opportunities for Detroiters to thrive," said Thomas in an email.
The Warren Avenue to Joy Road section of the greenway is anticipated to open next spring and Joy Road to Fullerton Avenue is expected to open next fall.
In addition to connecting 23 neighborhoods and four different cities, the greenway, which will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 29 at Detroit's Laker Park, will feature a pavilion with a community room, a fitness station, an open lawn for family gatherings, a playground and two new passive green spaces.
