Growing Concerns Over Detroit Transit Center
Detroit fails to maintain its two-year-old transit center named in honor of Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks, and a local city councilman says he's running out of patience.
Detroit City Council President Pro-tem Gary Brown is threatening to sponsor a resolution to have Rosa Parks name removed from the downtown transit center. Brown says the center is filthy and it is a disgrace to the civil rights icon.
"If we can't do something as simple as maintenance on a center as important as that one is to the city of Detroit, it's extremely frustrating," says Brown.
There have been growing complaints about the up-keep of the facility and its lack of security ever since the $22 million Rosa Parks Transit Center opened in downtown Detroit in 2009. President Pro-tem Gary Brown says Council plans to get to bottom of the matter and get things fixed.
