I was just notified that the City of Detroit BSEED is providing an updated decision letter that basically states no coke or coal products can be stored at the site. Congratulations all! And thank you to those who wrote emails and letters to the BZA.
Please note that there is no need for community members to attend if this is the ONLY issue you were going to provide testimony on.
Best, Rashida

Subject: [BridgeWatchDetroit] Reminder: Coke Yard Hearing TOMORROW
Dear Residents,
This is a reminder of the Board of Zoning Appeals hearing tomorrow, April 26. The hearing begins at 9:30, and Waterfront Terminal is scheduled for 10:15 am.
Waterfront Terminal still wants to have a coke yard in the community. They have appealed the denial by the City's Building, Safety Engineering and Engineering Department’s (BSEED) to allow a coke yard in southwest Detroit. As you know, Waterfront Petroleum is the company that openly stored coke breeze on its property, located at 3701 Jefferson, along the Detroit River.
We are encouraging you all to be engaged and informed. Residents should please make an effort to attend. The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) hearing will be on Tuesday, April 26. They are scheduled to appear at 10:15a.m.
