Downtown corridor: Van Dyke Avenue and 10 Mile Road
The city's Downtown Development Authority describes its district as the businesses along Van Dyke Avenue and 10 Mile Road. The city's road diet plan for Van Dyke Avenue, which is also M-53, covers more than half a mile between Stephens Road and Engleman Avenue and lists on-street parking among its design concepts. The Census publishes no home figures for the corridor itself, which crosses several block groups, so the nearest figures are those of the groups on each side of Van Dyke Avenue.
