Canopy to top Rosa Parks Transit Center

They're about to put the cherry, errr..., canopy on top of Detroit's new downtown bus terminal.

Excerpt:

Construction is moving along at the Rosa Parks Transit Center located at the corner of Michigan and Cass. The signature tensile roof is going up. It will be complete by mid-June, with the Detroit Department of Transportation planning a June 25 grand opening for the center. At that time, the central terminal for DDOT buses will shift from Capitol Park to the RPTC.

DDOT Deputy Director Lovette Williams thinks the RPTC will mean new visibility and viability for bus riding in Metro Detroit. "This is something new to this area completely," she says, with amenities such as the ability for passengers to sit indoors to wait for their bus while being informed by real-time bus arrival and departure signage; retail space that may be filled with little shops (think newspaper stand); round-the-clock security; and a cashier-staffed spot to buy DDOT and SMART bus passes.
