The Master Plan

continued from page 4

has not been an easy task to get many people to realize that it is their responsibility to see to it that this occurs.

There is no doubt in most people's minds that a Master Plan is underway. All the concentrated buildups downtown-- along the Riverfront, spreading out north of Jefferson Avenue to Adams, and from first Street to Rivard-- and around the perimeter of the city give clear evidence of a well-thought-out strategy.

But when people unite and become accountable, they can intercept any plans against their welfare. It is this kind of action that has brought the ray of light which promises better things, such as rebuilding the devastated inner city.

If this trend continues, and if the people do not become over-confident and let apathy over-take them again, they can win the battle. We certainly hope more people will join in this effort and stay with it. Only then will Detroit become the kind of city we all want it to be.
