Detroit希腊城2000万美元Monroe Street街景工程完工：无路缘步行街、50棵新树与全区免费Wi-Fi
位于密歇根州韦恩县的底特律市，据Detroit本地媒体10月16日报道，希腊城社区伙伴组织10月14日（周三）举行庆祝活动，标志着历时数年的Monroe Street街景工程（Monroe Streetscape Project）完工，社区成员与地方官员在活动上砸盘庆祝新街区落成。
这项2000万美元的工程于2025年开工，把历史悠久的希腊城社区内的Monroe Street改造成更便于步行的街道：拓宽步行空间、采用无路缘路面、增设户外用餐区，街道部分路段禁止车辆通行，并铺设了约240万美元的花岗岩。工程还新栽50棵树、安装50根带安防摄像头的智能灯杆、音响系统与雨水排水设施；全区覆盖免费Wi-Fi，由Cronus Internet提供。
该街区共装有124个联网安防摄像头，画面接入Detroit警察局实时犯罪中心，这里也成为Detroit第一条“智能街道”。市长玛丽·谢菲尔德在活动上表示，希腊城是Detroit文化的一部分，能参与把这个地区提升到新阶段是一种荣幸。州众议员威尔·斯奈德与乔·泰特也出席发言，两人曾支持使该项目得以实施的州级资金。施工期间，当地商家营业额曾下降四至五成；希腊城社区伙伴组织副主席、Astoria糕点店店主塔索·特夫齐斯估计，街道开始重新开放以来，营业额已回升一至一成半。
Detroit's Greektown Celebrates Completion of $20 Million Monroe Streetscape Project
Detroit is a city in Wayne County, Michigan. Detroit's Greektown Neighborhood Partnership held a celebration on Wednesday, October 14, marking the completion of the multiyear, $20 million Monroe Streetscape Project, local media reported on October 16, with community members and officials breaking plates to christen the finished district.
Work on the project started in 2025. Crews rebuilt Monroe Street in the historic Greektown neighborhood to be easier to walk: wider pedestrian space, curb-less lanes, room for outdoor dining, car-free sections paved with about $2.4 million in granite, 50 new trees, 50 smart lampposts with security cameras, a speaker system and a stormwater drain. Free Wi-Fi provided by Cronus Internet covers the whole district.
The district's 124 internet-connected security cameras feed into the Detroit Police Department's Real Time Crime Center, making this Detroit's first smart street. 'It's a part of the culture of our city, and to be here to elevate this area to its next chapter is truly an honor,' Mayor Mary Sheffield told the crowd. State Representatives Will Snyder and Joe Tate, who backed the state funding behind the project, also spoke. Construction was hard on local businesses, which saw sales fall 40 to 50 percent during the work; Tasso Teftsis, vice president of the Greektown Neighborhood Partnership and owner of Astoria Pastry Shop, estimated business has risen 10 to 15 percent since the street began reopening.
