When you think of Livonia, what comes to mind?
Is it Livonia City Hall? Bates Burgers? It s probably not a downtown, considering the city doesn t have one.
A city as built-out as Livonia probably can t create a traditional downtown to give people a sense of place within the community. But, the city thinks it can create micro downtowns throughout the city that, officials hope, people will associate with Livonia.
“We really want it to set a feeling of what Livonia is, Council President Kathleen McIntyre said. You think about the Livonia Mall, and that was kind of the iconic Livonia thing. So, whatever is there should give you that same feeling of place.”
