Yesterday I walked from Hart Plaza along the Riverfront to check out the new Residences at Water Square development. Recently opened, I was curious to see what paths I could take to get there other than the People Mover, and this is one of them. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the plans are to make this area more accessible to residents who want to walk, bike, and run.

One last People Mover ride until November 22nd! The train will be undergoing maintenance for the next couple of months.

Once known as Joe Louis Arena Station, West Riverfront is making way for a new neighborhood feel. Whimsical, glittery colors in "Voyage" by Gerome Kamrowski embodies both mythology and astrology. The tiles were made in Spillemberg, Italy by Crovatto Mosaics- the same company that created "Calvacade of Cars" in Huntington Place Station!

Kamrowski has been creating beautiful glass mosaics for many years, as shown below in "2002, Cottage Studio, Ann Arbor."

Hop off the Detroit People Mover and head to the riverwalk to check out the beautiful pedestrian path as well as the new Water Square development.

Although there is a lot of work to be done to make it a walkable neighborhood, the 25-story Residences at Water Square is under construction at the former Joe Louise Arena site. Currently pre-leasing for February 2024, the project is coming together nicely!
