I have to agree here. I'm glad that LRT is still in the works for Woodward, and I'm glad that BRT is being developed for other lines. I'm not so sure that Hall Road is the right route, but if that gets Macomb County on board, then great. By the way, the big light rail study done by URS a couple of years ago indicated that Gratiot was not a candidate for LRT at all because of the huge costs in infrastructure changes it would require: too many bridges, underpasses, and buried streams. And, at least in the short run, something like BRT will shuttle airport passengers from the train station at Michigan and Merriman/Henry Ruff Rd. to the airport. The plans do not call for a rail spur to the actual airport, unless there were changes I didn't hear about.
