Detroit wants to expand its ShotStopper community violence intervention program with state funding.

The first phase of the “Accessabili-D” project will serve a portion of the city’s southeast side, offering scheduled and on-demand rides, with a route serving 68 stops.

Project Clean Slate leads eligible Detroiters with criminal records through the expungement process at no cost. It’s a city-run program staffed by full-time attorneys, something city officials say makes it unique in the nation.

Duggan painted Detroit as a work in progress that’s made big strides since it exited bankruptcy 10 years ago.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan made his annual budget presentation to city council members on Thursday. The council ultimately needs to approve the city’s budget.

Mayor Mike Duggan said Monday that every residential neighborhood in the city saw home values increase in the past two years.

The city re-opened its contract with the transit union representing drivers to add the pay increase. Drivers will start making another $6,000 a year.

The idea is known as a land value tax, or split-rate tax. It would drastically cut tax rates on structures, while more than doubling them on land. Duggan said that would give the vast majority of Detroit homeowners a tax cut.

The complex can house up to 48 families.
