The Ypsilanti DDA drafted an RFQ and hired Fishbeck Consultants to help us design concepts for the Freighthouse Plaza with the help of the DDA District Stakeholders and the surrounding community. The River St. Boulevard was included to act as a cohesive gateway to the district in anticipation of a bridge closure in the coming years.
After collecting input from the community, we created a concept design. Unfortunately we did not receive the funding we were looking for to upgrade the plaza. Despite the setback, we are moving forward with working with the City to improve the Freighthouse parking lot, add additional ADA ramps, level out trip hazards in the plaza and improve lighting to the area.
