The Dequindre Cut is a below-grade pathway, formerly a Grand Trunk Western Railroad line,〔(Dequindre Cut ) from the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy〕 located on the east side of Detroit, Michigan, just west of St. Aubin Street. Much of the Cut has been converted to a greenway; the colorful graffiti along the pathway has been left in place.〔 ==Description== The railroad line that once ran through the Dequindre Cut runs roughly northwest/southeast at street level through Hamtramck and on to Royal Oak.〔(Walter Wasacz, ) "Dequindre Cut: The Missing Link," Model D, November 22, 2005; retrieved 9/7/09〕 The Cut begins south of Mack Avenue and runs along the east edge of the Eastern Market. The grade separation gradually increases heading south. It eventually reaches and stays 25 feet beneath grade until it enters the riverfront area south of Jefferson Avenue.〔 As of 2013, a substantial portion of the Cut has been converted into a greenway. The greenway runs from Gratiot Avenue south to Woodbridge Street, between Jefferson Avenue and the Detroit River.〔 The Dequindre Trail connects the Cut between Woodbridge Street and the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor along the International Riverfront.〔 Construction began in September 2013 to build the remaining greenway section from Mack Avenue to Gratiot. This segment includes a trail entrance into Eastern Market along the northwest side of the Wilkins Street bridge. This extension is part of the Link Detroit project which is funded through various sources including a $10 million TIGER grant. Based on the requirements of the TIGER funding, it will be completed by November 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.detroitmi.gov/Portals/0/docs/publicworks/Tiger%20Grant/Link%20Detroit%202012%20Grant%20Application.pdf )〕 The greenway currently houses a paved path with separate lanes for both pedestrians and bicycles.〔 Access ramps to the Cut have been constructed at Lafayette Street and Gratiot Avenue.〔 Graffiti on the bridge abutments along the trail were intentionally left in place during the construction of the greenway.〔(Kelli B. Kavanaugh, ) "Work starts on Dequindre Cut's transformation," October 12, 2007, ModelD〕 Construction project manager Michael Dempsey said in 2007, "Unless it is obscene or offensive, our policy is to leave it in place. We also want to encourage new works to the extent that the artists are willing to do that -- as long as they pick up their aerosol cans after themselves!"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dequindre Cut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
