landmark is now history.The Polish Market on

Jos. Campau and Bel-mont abruptly announcedit was closing this pastweekend on Monday.A notice, printed in Eng-

lish and Polish, said that“due to circumstancesbeyond our control we areforced to close …”The notice told cus-

tomers to visit their otherstore at 15 Mile and De-quindre in Troy and listeda phone number to call.The Review made re-

peated calls to that num-ber but no one everanswered or returnedmessages.Although there had

been ongoing rumors thatthe store would be clos-ing, it still came as ashock to many.Mayor Karen Majewski

said she does not knowwhy the store closed. Shesaid its closing was a loss

for the city.“It's been a landmark

business for a long time,and an anchor businesson Jos. Campau,” Majew-ski said. “It was also apleasure to shop there --the store was always

spotless, well lit, and wellorganized, matching any-thing to be found in thesuburbs. It set a highstandard that I hope otherHamtramck businesseswill take as a model.”Kathy Angerer, the city’s

Director of Community &Economic Development,said the store’s closingrepresents “a huge voidin our central businessdistrict.”Angerer said she talked

Sharing the future

By Charles SercombeAfter 26 years on the

bench, Hamtramck 31stDistrict Court Judge PaulParuk is stepping down,according to sources.The Review was unable

to reach Paruk for com-ment.But various sources in

city hall confirmed Parukwill be leaving to take anew job with the StateSupreme Court in an ad-ministrative position.

Paruk will be replacedwith a temporary judge forthe immediate futurewhile a search is con-ducted for someone to fillthe position until the No-vember General Electionin 2017.Paruk’s replacement

will have to be a residentin the city. The State Barof Michigan has alreadyposted the position in itswebsite. To be consideredfor the position, an appli-cation must be submittedby June 24.Gov. Rick Snyder will

Jos. Campau will be a little emptier now that the Polish Market has closed down.The owner cited the city’s changing ethnic population has led to a loss in busi-ness. Hamtramck is no longer a predominantly Polish community.

Hamtramck 31st DistrictCourt Judge Paul Paruk isleaving his post after serv-ing the city for 26 years.

One way to reduce speeding drivers is to create bikelanes, forcing drivers to slow down and share roadspace.

It’s said that whateverhappens to Detroit, sogoes Hamtramck. Ourfriends over at modeldme-dia.com have been report-ing on fascinatingdevelopment projects forthe past several years.With their permission,

here is an edited versionof this week’s story:Heads up Hamtramck.The downtown real es-

tate demand may end upcoming this way soon.In an analysis of greater

downtown Detroit's rentalmarket, the Detroit FreePress estimates that for2016, 700 new units areset to open by the end ofthe summer. And theones that have alreadyopened are at or near100 percent capacity. "It is also giving land-

lords reason to continueraising rents, although thesize of the year-to-yearjumps could subside asmore new apartments hitthe market," writes JCReindl.The article cites several

recently-opened apartmentbuildings in the area thathave already leased outtheir units. One case, pro-filed by Model D, is the For-est Arms Apartments.Rehabbed after a devastat-ing fire in 2008, the ForestArms rented out all 70 ofits units the first monththey became available,with rents for one-bedroomunits going for around

$1,000 per month.The very high end units

and those reserved forlow-income tenants aren'tgoing at quite the samerate. The Waters Edge atHarbortown, also profiledby Model D, whose two-bedrooms rent for about$1,700 per month, stillhas 42 of its 134 unitsunleased. The Strathmore in Mid-

town has leased out all ofits market-rate apart-ments, but only a handfulof its lower-income ones.In the article, the build-ing's property manager,Derrell Jackson, explains

that the reason for the dif-ference is due to the diffi-culty in proving one'sincome. Who are these renters?

"Those filling the new De-troit apartments are typi-cally young professionalsas well as some emptynesters, leasing agentssay," writes Reindl.These cases suggest

that demand is far out-stripping supply. The mar-ket is obviously stilladjusting, so rentersshould expect fairly dra-matic increases in rentalrates (10 to 20 percent)in the near future.

with the owner of the build-ing, who leased the spaceto the store, and said it ap-peared there was financialhardship. She said thebuilding owner told her“that the store was losingmoney every month withthe demographic change

to the city.”Hamtramck has indeed

experienced a major shiftfrom its decade’s longidentity as a Polish city.The majority of the city’spopulation is now madeup of immigrants fromBangladesh and Yemen.

Another sizable popula-tion is from Bosnia.Most of those immi-

grants are of the Muslimfaith. There are now overa dozen markets cateringto those residents.On the mayor’s Face-

book page, a number ofresidents complained thatthe quality of food andservice at the market de-clined in recent years.Its closing now leaves

only three Polish foodmarkets: Srodek’s,Bozek’s and Stan’s.That list will likely be

whittled down further.Stan’s Market on Jos.Campau is for sale.While the closing is a

milestone, it is, as themayor said, part of Ham-tramck’s changing busi-ness “landscape.”There have been a num-

ber of new businessopening in Hamtramckthat transcend ethnicity.There is a high-end choco-late shop, a handmadepurse and clothing storeand soon-to-be openingbike shop.Hamtramck is increas-

ingly becoming home tothose being out-priced inmidtown Detroit and is onthe verge of exploding re-tail-wise.In Hamtramck there has

always been one here hasalways been one constantyou could count on:change.

who wins the judgeshiphas a position for lifesince it is rare that any-one runs against the in-cumbent judge in this city.Paul Paruk made inter-

national news severalyears ago when he re-quired a Muslim womanto remove her face veil,commonly known as aniqab, in order to testify.He insisted that he

needed to see the face ofwitnesses as one way todetermine if they aretelling the truth.The woman, who had a

lawsuit pending againstan auto rental company,refused to remove her veiland Paruk dismissed hercase.The woman filed a law-

suit in federal court claim-ing a civil rights violation,but a federal judge dis-missed it, saying it is upto the State SupremeCourt to establish rulesabout appearances.Attorney Nick Frontczak,

a friend of Paruk’s and aformer city attorney forHamtramck, said Parukwas a “credit to the cityand the judicial system.”“He carried himself very

well on the bench andmade reasoned deci-sions,” he said.Frontczak also credited

Paruk with modernizingthe court and reorganizingits administration. Paruk also instituted a

community service pro-gram for offenders in-stead of jailing them orfining them.

Above, from the window inmy attic, I can see muchfarther. On clear nightsthe glow of the GM build-ing on the riverfront is vis-ible.Day after day, my eyes

are on the streets below.I watch the interplay ofcars, buses, kids walkingto and from school, singleadults walking to marketsin the neighborhood, cou-ples or families out for anevening stroll. It's a bal-let, made up of the stuffof urban life.Motor traffic is part of

this ballet, of course, as itis in cities around theworld. But many cities aresucceeding in lesseningthe dominance of the au-tomobile, creating sharedenvironments for cars,bikes and people on foot.In some European cities

-- and a handful of U.S.cities -- this desegrega-tion of public life hasevolved into the 'SharedSpace' movement, whichadvocates for the removalof all traffic control de-vices, including signalsand stop signs, curbs andcrosswalks. It's a radicalidea that treats mo-torists, cyclists andpedestrians as equalpartners, all sharing thesame space. The theory -- which has

proved successful insmaller cities in theNetherlands and Den-mark, and in neighbor-hoods in Cambridge, MA,West Palm Beach, FL andPortland, OR -- is that bytaking away conventionalinfrastructure and sig-nage direct human con-tact is paramount,creating a safer zone for

everyone. The word ballet comes

to mind once again.Shared Space is the Zenof urban design, a philos-ophy that insists partici-pation in the immediatepresent is the bedrock oftraffic safety. Let's all calm down.It is a beautiful and po-

etic idea for which I havea deep fondness, butdon't expect a SharedSpace redesign to cometo Hamtramck any timesoon. It works best in tra-ditional public squaresand plazas -- HarvardSquare is where it hasbeen implemented inCambridge -- while our lit-tle city is nearly entirelyall grid built on slight an-gles here and there (Ham-tramck streets follow thesame north by northwesttrajectory of Woodward,the region's main av-enue). What could work here is

some variant of 'Com-plete Streets,' a practicalapproach that balancesthe interests of motorists,users of public transit, cy-clists, walkers and peoplewith disabilities. One of Complete

Streets' most effectivepolicies is traffic calming,a way to reduce trafficspeeds with roadway de-signs and improved sig-nage.Whether I am home

watching traffic from myhouse, or walking, cyclingor driving around Ham-tramck (a rare thing any-more, I only take my carout when I leave the city),the need to calm downthe streets is starkly ap-parent.

Continued from front page

Keep in mind the follow-ing are only anecdotal,not scientific, observa-tions of what I commonlywitness. I have alsoadded some commentsto spice up the discus-sion:• Motor traffic is too

fast, everywhere. Onereason for this is thatthere are too few speedlimit signs in the city. Ifthe speed limit is 25 MPHon Conant or Holbrook(there are a few signs onthose two roads) why nota similar sign on Gal-lagher or Buffalo or anyother secondary throughstreets? Motorists needconstant reminders. Nostreet in Hamtramckshould have a speed limitbeyond 25. Gallagher is aconnecting route that in-cludes two schools and astadium. There is an in-creasing number of fami-lies and kids that use thisroute. Pedestrian andbike traffic is higher thanever. A maximum speedof 20 MPH is probably areasonable limit to con-sider. Only emergency ve-hicles should be allowedto go faster. • From my window I

often see cars passingeach other on a stretch ofGallagher between Eva-line and Holbrook. I'veseen cars doing the samegoing the other direction,toward Caniff, barelymissing vehicles merginginto traffic from east-bound Belmont. This alsomust be addressed. Per-haps Gallagher can bedesignated a “calmingzone” rather than a 'cut-through' route in and outof the city. One featurethat adds to the speed ofthe road is that there isparking on only the westside of Gallagher. Parkingon each side of the streetwould slow down traffic,very likely discouragepassing and inappropri-ate merging. And moreparking in Hamtramck isa good thing, right?• Protected bike lanes

will also help calm downHamtramck streets.When in Montreal a fewyears ago I spent time inMile End, an old neighbor-hood made up of ethnicfamilies, artists, food anddrink places, very muchlike Hamtramck, superhip in a natural way. InMile End, bike lanes

In Our Opinion

You’d think that when6,000 people are com-ing to visit your townlocal officials wouldwelcome them.Not so in Ham-

tramck.A week ago on a Mon-

day evening, a groupcalled Slow Roll com-prised of people whobicycle in differentneighborhoods in themetro area, announcedon social media theywould be coming toHamtramck thatevening. Some city officials

knew earlier in the daythat this event wascoming up.How city officials han-

dled it is a textbook ex-ample on how to blow apublic relations mo-ment.First thing, though.

Yes, the group did notformally notify the city.That was a huge blun-der on their part.But here in Ham-

tramck city officials didnothing – nothing – toprepare for the visit de-spite having a heads-up– albeit just severalhours beforehand. In-stead, it was left up tothe Police Departmentto handle the visit, anddepartment officers didwhat they are trained todo: enforce the law.And by enforcing the

law we mean handingout over 100 parkingtickets to members ofSlow Roll who parkedtheir cars illegally on

Conant and in lots.Whenever there is a

special event in a city,it’s not unusual for peo-ple to be allowed topark where normallyparking is not allowed.A special event that

attracts thousands ofpeople means specialconsiderations aremade.That’s what makes a

city a friendly host.Not so in Ham-

tramck. Officerspounced on the carsparked illegally. You’dthink some city officialwould have takencharge and directed aspecial policy for theone-of-a-kind event.But again, not so. We don’t know what

happened that causedthis breakdown in com-munication among cityofficials who had heardabout the oncomingvisit and why they failedto pass the word alongproper chains of com-mand.Members of Slow Roll

who received ticketswere fuming. They weretold by Detroit Policeand organizers that itwas OK to park wherethey did.Detroit Police were in-

volved because a ma-jority of the bike ridewas in Detroit.It’s unreasonable to

blame the bike riders,many of whom drove toa meet-up location andunloaded their bikes,for not knowing they

were technically inHamtramck.Most folks don’t

know where the bound-aries between Detroitand Hamtramck startand stop.This mass ticketing

even made it on tolocal TV news chan-nels. The upshot isHamtramck looked likean unwelcoming bully.We have heard that

there were a number offolks here in town whodon’t like the bikegroup and cheered theticketing.To this special group

of folks we have this tosay: That was 6,000people we just tickedoff. Out of those 6,000people were potentialinvestors and thosewho might have comeback to visit our bars,restaurants and busi-nesses.What planet are you

on to think that it’s agood thing to alienatethese folks?But then again, Ham-

tramck is a small town,and along with thatcomes small-mindedthinking for some.What a botched op-

portunity.The only thing that

could turn this aroundand make it a public re-lations victory is forHamtramck 31st Dis-trict Court to announcethe tickets issued willbe dismissed.It’s your move, Ham-

tramck.

along the curb protect cy-clists from traffic. The onepictured is on Clark St.,approximately the samewidth as Gallagher, Brom-bach or Mackay. A similarlane could be constructedon Jos. Campau, north ofCaniff, as part of the pro-posed Inner Circle Green-way. It is also agame-changing economicdevelopment tool, bring-ing thousands of potentialnew visitors to the city.• When I walk across

crosswalks throughoutthe city, I often have topause for cars that blockmy right of way. The 'Ham-tramck' way, learned inchildhood, is to walk inback of the vehicle to

cross. But the law is clearon this point: pedestrianshave the right of way andmotorists must yield, notthe other way around.• In the 1970s, Ham-

tramck converted severaltwo-way residential streetsinto one-ways. This wasthe trend across urbanAmerica. I remember Gal-lagher north of Caniff as atwo-way thoroughfare. Allof the streets north of Can-iff -- from St. Aubin on thewest to Moran on the east-- were two-way. A numberof cities, Boston and Seat-tle among them, have re-turned one-way streets totheir original state forsafety reasons. It has alsoaffected property values,

which tend to go up ontwo-way streets. Drivers onone-way streets generallygo too fast, studies show.Of course they do. The in-tent of one-way streets isto move traffic faster, inand out of cities. That'snot what we need here. Infact, the more narrow thestreets, the slower the traf-fic, the better it is for all ofus -- motorists, cyclists,pedestrians and home andbusiness owners. We'll keep talking about

traffic safety and its im-pact on the city in theweeks to come. There aresolutions to the issuesdiscussed above. Let'ssee if we can engage cityofficials and bring plan-ners, advocates anddoers into the conversa-tion. Everyone is welcomeinto a better and safer fu-ture for Hamtramck.

Walter Wasacz walksaround Hamtramck everyday and writes about it.

Your service to the peo-ple of this great city willreally be missed. May youreach bigger goals andprosper in your new job.I’m sure that you will bemissed by law enforce-ment, lawyers and thepeople who stand in frontof your bench.I know I will. The few

times that I was in front ofyour bench you were al-

ways fair. You were al-ways impartial to the casein front of you. May youhave good luck.Once again a big thank

On a glorious hot dayheading out to do someshopping on Joseph Cam-pau between Holbrookand Caniff.In my dream, my first

stop would be Banana Re-public where I expect tosee a collection of men'sshirts made of EgyptianLinen in refreshing colors.I will buy several for my-self. Over a T-shirt andskirt they are airy andcomfortable to wear.Next I would plan to

step into the Old Navystore looking for a couplepencil-skirts in a size12. The size 14 in mycloset is too large.

May as well go into theHue's Leotard andHosiery Boutique and seeif I can find what I need.By this time I need a de-

licious cold milkshake, icecream soda, or sundae,and must visit SweetlandII.Target, Barnes & Noble

and Jams Stationers willhave to wait till tomorrow.While I'm dreaming, the

convenience of having anInternational House ofPancakes, Denny’s and afish & chips restaurantbetween Holbrook andCaniff would be great!On my way home I have

just enough energy to

stop at Kroger in theTowne Center Shoppingstrip to buy organic saladitems, fruit and chicken.What a dream!We residents of Ham-

tramck need and reallycould have these retailstores on Joseph Cam-pau. If only the owners ofthe vacant storefrontswould kindly renew theirefforts to reach out andattract these desirable re-tail stores to make it onceagain a top shopping des-tination for everyone.

it because there weresome good deals there.In all, a little under

$19,000 was raised, mostof which goes right backinto the Police Departmentfor training and supplies.City Manager Katrina

Powell said most of thesales came from desksand cabinets that werecleared out of city hall.
