Yes, it definitely stuck in my head.

But again, it's worth emphasizing that this was the only real incident in four years of transit ridership in a city of half a million people that...

I found this piece interesting.

Yes, exactly. I've taken transit in some pretty "bad" areas of "bad" cities, and believe it or not, I've never seen a mob of hoodlums duct tape an elderly woman to her seat before robbing her of her...

I might be wrong, as I haven't lived in Michigan for a while now, but from what I remember, the last couple millage proposals were centered around BRT, not rail, right?

Another genuine question:...

Exactly.

Nobody is arguing that we should all live in concrete boxes and lose our skills, though I certainly haven't minded my time living in apartments. Places like Chicago and Boston have plenty of homes...

Thanks to whoever added a citation and merged this in with the main I-96. I knew somebody on here would have solid information about the "unbuilt Okemos freeway" I had heard anecdotally about, and...

Not necessarily an urban legend. Just a possible legend that is more likely than not reality. [[I guess that if this story spreads, we'll have an urban legend about an urban legend about a freeway.)...

Yeah, this is a really old plan if I remember correctly. I think they decided not to build it sometime in the 70s or 80s. I just figured that if someone had historical documentation of this, it might...

Looks like somebody started a page on this old plan related to I-96:

Does anybody have documentation of this? If so, please edit...
