Detroit unveils car-free Monroe Street in Greektown after $20M rebuild

Reports business down 40-50% during construction, up 10-15% since

After 19 months of construction, Greektown's Monroe Street reopened Wednesday as a car-free plaza from Brush to St. Antoine. The $20 million state-funded redesign adds granite paving, 50 trees, 50 smart lampposts with cameras, and free public Wi-Fi from Cronus Internet. Greektown's 124 security cameras run on Cronus's network and feed Detroit police's Real Time Crime Center.
