Yes, the idea of capping 375 has been floated, but it would be extremely expensive and probably not the best option for this case. If we had the money to cap a freeway in the downtown area, it would...

This is correct. I-375 is at the end of it's lifespan, and it either needs to be completely rebuilt in its current form, or be rebuilt in a different form. It is not only less expensive to rebuild it...

These power outages are due to the above-ground power lines that are prone to damage in severe weather. Running the power lines underground would solve 99% of the power outages. It is more expensive...

I would agree with this assessment. It is still too early to determine how successful the rebuild is at this point. We will have a much clearer picture at the end of next season.

I went for the first time today. It's very nice, and offers additional options for downtown groceries. I'll definitely be going there on a regular basis.

I don't expect any plans for that section of the riverfront to be finalized until we know what is happening with 375. Some of the proposed plans for 375 include a boulevard style surface street that...

I think 2-3 more years in rebuild mode is much more likely. The next two years will feature a lot of current prospects coming up from the minors, two more years of high draft picks, and the...

From what I have read about the situation in Toronto, the main issues with installing natural grass are due to the limitations in the design and age of the retractable roof, which they only open when...

Would Ford Field continue to have artificial turf if a retractable roof was installed? Many stadiums with retractable roofs have natural grass. In the MLB, there are six stadiums with retractable...

The closest Target store [[Dearborn) is about 10.5 miles from downtown Detroit.

Niki's Lounge is definitely a big source of the problem.

If the Detroit casinos are allowed to offer sports betting, the additional revenues generated will most likely be taxed at the same rate as the gaming revenues from slots and table games.
