The Detroit City Council is expected to vote on the transfer of land at Riverside Park to the Detroit International Bridge Company which is owned by the Maroun Family. Residents who live in the area want certain conditions in place to protect their community before the land is transferred. "The noise is incredible. The pounding, the banging, the. I mean, it's just terrible," Irma Salidivar said. Salidivar lives near the Ambassador Bridge and the land behind her home is owned by the Maroun Family. She says she and many others who live near St. Anne's Street think the transparency by the bridge company is lacking. They also allege that they haven't been fair to their request to expand operations and that begins with a section of the nearby Riverside Park. "They're getting too close. Too close for comfort for me anyhow," Rueben Romero, another resident living near the Ambassador Bridge said.
