I am deeply saddened today that after ten years of protecting and rehabbing Riverside Park through Bridgewatch Detroit and volunteers, that our Detroit Mayor would move forward in negotiating with the biggest slum landlord in the state, Matty Moroun. Mayor Duggan's actions are disturbing because he is making decisions without consulting the community that worked so hard to get the park back from Matty after he illegally took it and destroyed the baseball diamonds. Whatever this "plan" is, it will involve Matty getting yet more public land and more negative impact on our neighborhood that has been spit on by this man for decades. We deserve better than this. ‪#‎RiversidePark‬ Call, email and tweet at Mayor Duggan to express your disappointment and ask him to stop.
