Destination: Livernois Road
The “Avenue of Fashion” in Detroit
Livernois Ave was named after 18th Century French farmer Francis Livernois and begins just across Jefferson Road at old Fort Wayne in southwest Detroit and travels interrupted through several Oakland County communities. Livernois name changes to Main Street in Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, and Clawson before reverting back to Livernois from Troy northward through Rochester Hills.
The newly paved (2019-20) and streetscapes famed “Avenue of Fashion” between 7 & Eight Mile in northwest Detroit shows a renewed promise as a prime shopping and cultural destination of Detroit.
