Joe Louis Arena station is a Detroit People Mover station in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located across Steve Yzerman Drive from the former site of the Joe Louis Arena, near the intersection of 3rd Street and Jefferson Avenue where M-10 terminates. It also serves the Riverfront Promenade, the Wayne County Community College Downtown Detroit campus and provides a direct connection for residents of the Riverfront Apartments. The station connected to the Joe Louis Arena via a pedestrian bridge that also connected to the Joe's parking garage as well as TCF Center; however, the garage is no longer in operation, and the bridge is now demolished and had guardrails put in, although the Detroit City Council does plan to reopen the garage in the future.[2]
There are no current plans to change the name of the station following the demolition of the Joe Louis Arena.
