Great idea, and already done, two different ways:
1. From downtown the Gratiot bus runs every 18 minutes on Saturday, and will get you to Gratiot and Russell in about 6 minutes.
2. If you'd prefer to start at Woodward and Mack/MLK, the Mack avenue bus runs every 33 minutes and gets you to the north end of Eastern Market in about 8 minutes.
Enjoy your shopping! Pick me up some Chateau Neuf d'Pape at the wine shop if you happen to think of it
I wasn't trying to claim you couldn't do it now. However, perhaps we could justify a shuttle that ran more often than every 18 minutes, and perhaps was better set up for people carrying groceries than a regular bus. My feeling is that if the city is going to the effort of building the LRT, it should be leveraged to make the Woodward corridor as attractive as possible.
