Instead of trekking to the mall this year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 24, 2006, take advantage of a free shuttle to Motown’s Downtowns for a true shopping and dining experience in Ferndale, Royal Oak, Hamtramck and Detroit.

The Motown’s Downtowns community shuttle service will run a repeating path between participating communities, with a northbound and southbound shuttle leaving each community every twenty minutes, and running from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. In Ferndale, you will be able to pick up this shuttle at the southeast and southwest corners of Woodward and Nine Mile. Reservations to ride the shuttle are required, but you can arrive at anytime and as long as you would like during the hours of service. You will receive a wrist band and a bag of shopping information, as well as one of the Shop Woodward discount cards.

Motown’s Downtowns is a partnership of planning and development officials in Detroit, Ferndale, Hamtramck, and Royal Oak, Michigan who coalesced in 2004 around the need to address development challenges common to their densely populated, urban communities. City Connect Detroit, a 501©3 nonprofit public charity focused on community fund development and collaboration, facilitates and manages the partnership. Our goal is to develop this shuttle service into an alternative mode of transportation on a regular basis for the future.
