Partly. Mayor Duggan made a deal with Matty to sell some city owned land next to the Ambassador Bridge so Matty could build his 2nd bridge to Canada (of course, Canada doesn't want a 2nd bridge there so the chances of it happening are next to impossible). On Matty's end though, Duggan wanted him to make improvements to the MCS, I guess starting with replacing the windows and the freight elevator inside.
The money the city got from Matty was then used to rehab Riverside Park. So it was a win-win all around even if Matty's win was kind of futile towards his long-term goals.
