Tomorrow could be a big day for the Arena District. The Ilitch Organization is scheduled to appear before City Council with their latest arena zoning ideas, meaning the fate of the historic Park Avenue and Eddystone Hotels is back in the spotlight. The proposal is expected to save the Eddystone and but demolish the Park Avenue, a move that many have opposed. Event parking has also become a sticking point, as the current plan seems to rely on dumpy, Ilitch-owned surface lots rather than parking garages. [Preservation Detroit; Freep]
