Southfield City Planner Terry Croad laid out new concept plans for the long-desired City Centre district — a friendly, walkable retail and entertainment mecca off Evergreen, near the municipal complex — along with new partners in the endeavor before the Southfield City Council Feb. 27.
Croad was joined by members of the City Centre Advisory Board, and representatives from the Southfield Planning Commission, Lawrence Technological University and Mort Crim Communications, as well as Robert Gibbs of Gibbs Planning Group in Birmingham, who was responsible for the meat of the presentation.
The City Centre is triangle-shaped and bounded by Evergreen, from 10 Mile to 11 Mile; Northwestern Highway, from 10 Mile to 11 Mile; and 11 Mile, from Evergreen to Northwestern, with the Southfield Municipal Complex and Lawrence Technological University included.
