I can't come up with it but I believe I heard, probably here, that the Qline will have a wireless street light coordination. 'Here I come; switch to green'. Not dedicated but the next best thing.
Article and nice graphic from earlier this year of the riverfront:

Sounds like Peter Cummings really is planning on some neighborhood initiatives in addition to the developments in the hot and trendy areas. Things filtering into the neighborhoods is exactly what is needed, and sooner rather than later.

So the people who are happy to see light rail on Woodward don't also support improved mass transit thought the city and region? Is there some group of people who support the M-1 rail, but are against additional funding for the RTA? This isn't an either-or situation. I have yet to hear a supporter of the Woodward rail line say "fuck DDOT/SMART/RTA, I don't support mass transit to the rest of the city."
To be sure, this region is full of people who don't care about the 30% of Detroiters who don't have a car, but they aren't the ones who support light rail on Woodward.
