• • • • • • • •
Memorial feature o Interpretation of the 1932 “Hunger March” and former bascule bridge o Interpretation of how transportation evolved in southeast Michigan from shipbuilding to automobile manufacturing o Utilization of salvaged materials from former bridge control tower Stormwater BMP interpretation Non-motorized boat launch Bike racks Seating Parking Bus pull-off Restrooms Landscaping / BMP for stormwater management
Two story brick building - Investigate potential for renovation.
Site Analysis The MDOT property is approximately .5 acres. Adding the Marathon Petroleum Company LP (MPC) property to the north would roughly double the land area.

Seating and Interpretive Signage
“Twig” bench by Landscapeforms provides inspiration for seating design.
Interpretive signage panels are supported by salvaged materials from former bridge.
Stormwater Management Feature A River water can be pumped by solar voltaic cells to a concrete basin and filtered through earth tiers. C B D
A C
B Bioswale can receive stormwater from street, or street runoff can be piped to the earth-tier filtering system. C Plaza, entry drive and parking area are surfaced with porous paving (grass pavers). D Rain garden provides final filter before seeping to river.
The concrete pool empties into an earth filtering system. The water becomes cleaner when appearing on the side of each tier.
Stormwater Swirl Chamber
The Vortechs® system removes: • fine sediment particles • free oil • Debris Allows for: • easy inspection • unobstructed maintenance access. A swirl chamber can remove debris, sediment and oils from street runoff before it enters the site.
