DETROIT — M-1 Rail will host six community update meetings for business stakeholders and residents throughout the Woodward Corridor starting at the end of January and continuing through mid-February.
“We’ll be meeting with residents and business owners to share details of our 2015 construction schedule and make sure that they know what to expect once work ramps back up after the thaw,” says Sommer Woods, M-1 Rail director of external relations.
The meetings will provide attendees with information about construction activities and detours, along with other information pertinent to continued track construction. The scheduled update meetings are listed below, with doors opening 30 minutes prior to the start time.
- Midtown Edition: 6 – 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 29 at the Garden Theater, 3929 Woodward Avenue
- Midtown Edition: 8 – 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 3 at the Majestic Café, 4120 Woodward Avenue
