These are all good comments. I had not seen the table of granters before. I suspect that there was some state spending for the Q Line hidden in the cost of paving on Woodward and reconstructing the bridge over the freeway. I don't know if this is included in the "$10 million - State of Michigan" line. I suspect not.

The recent award of $5 million/year doesn't come from "the state," generally. This money comes from a redirection of hotel and bar taxes in the 3-county area under the State Convention Facility Development Act, which would otherwise be limited to subsidizing Cobo Hall [[or whatever it's called today). See Senate Bill 1223 of the last legislature. A related bill, SB 1222, makes these funds also usable for bike paths and plazas. So anyone visiting or drinking around Detroit will get the bill in their bar tab.
