The results of an eight month study carried out by the Coastal Zone Laboratory is presented. Three major objectives of the project were: (1) to suggest a series of concepts or techniques to expand or enhance the riverfront resources of the City of Detroit; the descriptions of specific concepts were to be done in close interaction with the Riverfront Task Force of the City of Detroit; specific sites along the riverfront were identified by the Task Force, and riverfront expansion techniques to enhance the use of these sites were then suggested and described; (2) to identify the various legal, environmental, and engineering techniques and to comment on possible approaches to enhance the implementation of such techniques; and (3) to examine the process for implementing riverfront expansion techniques and to comment on possible approaches to enhance the implementation of such techniques.
