LA Ride
Saturday, September 26 - 12:00-5:30pm
LA Ride Detroit Month of Design CycleTour 2020 is an interactive, slow to medium-paced 12 mile loop bike ride, open to the public, where riders visit locations designed by landscape architects throughout the host city. They will hear details about the featured projects from the professionals who actually worked on them. We explore city-scapes, parks, trail systems, sustainable landscapes, school campuses, sports facilities, gardens, urban agricultural sites and historic places, all of which were designed and created by Landscape Architects. Every ride includes “Lecture Sites” and “Mini Stops” where planners, advocates, and technical staff give interactive presentations to the group. CEU’s are also available for each ride. Expect an "afterparty" and the end of the cycle tour. Proceeds from sponsorships and contributions support MiASLA scholarships, mentoring programs, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion projects – opening “On Ramps” to careers, opportunities and the future.

The Distict Detroit
2645 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48201
Designed by SmithGroup
Situated between bustling downtown Detroit and eclectic Midtown, The District Detroit bridges the gap of formerly vacant land with a dynamic entertainment destination. It isn’t a series of massive venues scattered across the 60 blocks, it is a series of new, mixed-use neighborhoods, each anchored by the city’s best sports and entertainment venues, including the new Little Caesars Arena, Fox Theatre, Comerica Park, and Ford Field, all linked together with a rich network of walkable streets and open spaces. Both durable and richly detailed, The District Detroit landscape reflects the toughness, vitality, and beauty of the city itself. Once inhospitable and daunting, the prospect of walking the streets is now inviting. Downtown and Midtown are linked, not simply with new spaces and corridors, but with people. Read more here.
