That's pretty crummy urbanism though, streetcars notwithstanding. Is this the 1960s?
The streets are very wide - three lines each way - even though that capacity is apparently not needed. The car lanes are very wide and very straight, making the cars speed from red light to red light. This creates an unpleasant, dangerous space for pedestrians and cyclists. Steal one lane each side from motorists (which they can easily afford) and make a protected bike lane.
Detroit streetcars ended in 1956, so sometime before then. Judging by the cars and the fact that it's a color photo makes me think it can't be too much earlier than that.
