A $21 million project linking 20 miles of walking, running and biking paths in Detroit has wrapped up as part of an effort to boost recreation activities, better connect redeveloping neighborhoods and spur growth.

A ribbon-cutting takes place Friday to celebrate completion of the Link Detroit project at the new Wilkins Street Plaza, located along a half-mile extension of the Dequindre Cut Greenway in Eastern Market. A community celebration is Saturday. . . .

"These kinds of investments are transformative," Tom Woiwode, director of the GreenWays Initiative for the Community Foundation, said in an interview this week. "Detroit has the opportunity to be a leader in both the development of these projects and in creating the conversation about these kinds of projects."
