Mayor Eddie Francis will today unveil an ambitious water and boardwalk concept for the Western Super Anchor properties he believes can finally help transform the downtown dead zone.
A large cut into the shoreline that would bring the Detroit River inland near Caron Avenue and create a waterway to house a new marina is a major component of the proposal developed by Toronto urban designer Calvin Brook. The 40-foot-deep basin would be shadowed by a combined condo and retail development.
Also included in Brook's concept is conversion of a three-block stretch of either Pitt Street or Chatham Street into a new east-west 20-foot-deep canal filled with municipal -- not Detroit River -- water that eventually travels north back toward the riverfront on property just west of the art gallery.
