"All of the downtown restaurants that I have talked to are very excited. We're going to see the economic benefits spin off a lot differently than when you drove in in the cold, parked here in the structure, came in, and drove back home. Now you're going to see people out on the streets, and I think it's going to be a great thing. We're going to show off Detroit this auto show," Duggan said.
