Bates Park Expansion Clarified | Detroit News

Bates Park residents are relieved after city officials clarified that a new building addition won’t touch the park’s green space, fields, or diamonds—only extending 60 feet from the existing structure. Concerned neighbors feared losing their community hub and habitat, but public services director David Muzzarelli admitted miscommunication and walked the area to explain: the expansion is for a wastewater storage facility, meant to house equipment and hide unsightly infrastructure, ultimately improving both services and aesthetics. While some neighbors feel reassured, others await concrete plans at an upcoming neighborhood meeting. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
