Talks begin on 2nd bridge: State officials interview Delray residents
State officials are starting to study what properties would have to be condemned in Detroit’s Delray neighborhood to build a second bridge to Canada.
State transportation officials eying a
second bridge to Windsor have started interviewing about 85 business
owners in the Delray neighborhood about relocation plans.
The
process, expected to take several months, will be followed this summer
by discussions with some 400 residents in the southwest Detroit
neighborhood, said Mohammed Alghurabi, manager of the project for the
Michigan Department of Transportation.
The voluntary discussions
precede possible condemnation or relocation for a $1 billion bridge,
but don’t include appraisals or offers to buy. That won’t occur until
at least 2009, Alghurabi said. Instead, state officials are gathering
information about building sizes, employees and how much time owners
would need to relocate.
