The Monroe Streetscape Redesign Project is a transformative initiative led by the Greektown Neighborhood Partnership to revitalize one of Detroit’s most historic corridors. Supported by $20 million in state funding, this project reimagines one of Detroit’s most treasured pedestrian corridors, transforming Monroe Street in Greektown into a safer, more walkable and engaging public space.

Planned improvements include upgraded sidewalks and granite pavers, enhanced lighting, public Wi-Fi, integrated sound infrastructure, and beautified landscaping—all designed to celebrate the district’s cultural identity while supporting local businesses and improving the pedestrian experience. By investing in infrastructure, aesthetics, and accessibility, the project aims to preserve Greektown’s legacy while paving the way for its future.

Construction is underway and is expected to be completed by summer 2026, when the district will officially unveil “A New Greektown.” All Greektown businesses remain open and are accessible while the work is completed. Pedestrian access to Monroe Street will remain open throughout construction, though Monroe Street is closed to vehicular traffic until the project is complete.

ACCESS TO THE DISTRICT

• Pedestrian access to Monroe Street and the greater Greektown will be maintained throughout the streetscape upgrades.

• Entrance and exit from the parking garage at Hollywood Casino at Greektownwill remain open and accessible from Macomb and Chrysler Service Drive entrances.

• All parking on side streets, in surface lots, and garages remains available. The Detroit People Mover Greektown stop is open.

• Greektown’s complimentary shuttle service from Greektown to Little Caesars Arena for major concerts and events will continue throughout the project. Riders can be picked up on the corners of Beaubien and Macomb and Brush and Macomb Streets.

• Businesses remain open, pedestrian access to Monroe Street will be maintained for duration of project

Visitors to Greektown are encouraged to rely on the abundance of parking normally available on side streets, surface parking lots and garages available in the area, which allow quick access to the Greektown district. The Greektown stop on the Downtown People Mover will also remain open during construction.
