Detroit Transit Center’s Placement Upsets Preservationists

Plans for a new $7 million Detroit transit center are moving forward despite an outcry from preservationist groups. The new bus hub would require the demolition of two historic state fairground structures: The State Fair Riding Coliseum and the Dairy Cattle Building. The city agreed to conduct a three month study on the feasibility of saving them, but preservationist argue that the process hasn’t been prioritized and reuse hasn’t seriously been considered.
