Historic preservation credits bring in $11.37 for every dollar spent. And there are many other benefits. Here is a good article detailing them: Freep

It would mean a hell of a lot more if this inter-denominational effort included other faiths besides christianity. I applaud their efforts, but come on, muslims, jews, atheists, etc. can do the same...

I think a good start would be, as others have mentioned, eliminating the downtown spurs of M-10 and I-375. I think they serve little purpose now, and the radial network of existing boulevards...

I was going to say this... even with all of Detroit's problems, I'd much rather live in the city now than back in 1903.

I'm glad the project seems to be on the fast track, and really glad it's being built out to 8-mile from the start. I think Ferndale and Royal Oak will want their own rail stops soon after.

Whatever happened to "united we stand, divided we fall"?

Pics of the renovation

I was reading about the David Whitney Bldg. restoration on Model D and in the article they mentioned the Majestic Bldg. as being another Detroit building designed by the same architect. I was curious...

Thousands more WOULD use it. Rail is much higher capacity than highway, and more efficient. Your "real life" situation is completely incorrect, as bus lines feed the main rail lines as well as park...

It's hilarious that you think any of that incoherent, rambling rant contained even a shred of fact. Leave it to a brainwashed right-winger like you to have to respond with emoticons.

Detroit is a top-10 market, and the Pistons are an established brand here, so I highly doubt it.

You are talking about freight/commuter rail. Light rail has nowhere near that amount of maintenance, mostly because it is LIGHT compared to traditional rail. It would also not be on wood, but in...

No way in hell it would be $15, that's insane. It would be cost-competitive with driving a car: taking gas, insurance, maintenance and maybe even average monthly car payment into account. Obviously...

Thanks for your worthless contribution to the thread imbecile.

Just ignore that idiotic troll.

Light rail has a much higher capacity than bus service. Having rails physically installed in the pavement also attracts more investment than simply being on a bus route, which can always change for...

I don't know why you think they wouldn't take the sediment into account during installation. It's a non-issue.



Again, the deaths from wind turbines is absolutely minuscule. Another non-issue.

Dredging is the preferred method for removing contaminated sediments, so the lake would actually be slightly cleaner following construction of the wind farm. This would have no bearing on the...

You don't know that. You do realize the M-1 rail will be constructed, right? It is fully financed.

I love roundabouts. Much quicker getting through the intersection, much safer also.

That goes without saying, which is why I didn't. :rolleyes:



Wind power generation on the Great Lakes is going to happen in the U.S. Might as well get used to it.

It is called global warming. The average temperature of the entire planet is rising faster than it has in thousands and thousands of years. And it just so happens to correlate with the beginning of...

jsmyers... I applaud your post. Very well stated.

I don't think the lakeshore residents realize they do not, in fact, own the lake. It is public property of the State of Michigan. If we can...

You're comparing the construction of an international crossing on the busiest trade route between the U.S. and Canada to the Govt. opening up next to some mom and pop shop? Get a clue.

Governor/Mayor of Detroit would likely be in favor if push comes to shove.
