Yeah, that was a typo. Meant 2030.

I don't think people get what Ford and GM are up to right now. It sounds nice to invest in a huge classic bus/rail public transit system and 10 years ago I would have totally agreed. But why invest...

Temporary Grand River Avenue Dragway for North American International Auto Show! Anyone want to see the latest and greatest automobiles from around the world do quarter mile sprints in Downtown...

All little kids love splash pads, including 3 of mine, and lots of kids can participate at once. 5 year olds don't want to go down big water slides.

I don't think a WNBA or Arena football franchise is going to LCA. Metro Detroit used to have Cobo Arena, The Palace, and Joe Louis for events. Now its only LCA. There aren't going to be many open...

Its hard to think about a good use for the entire facility now. This will not be popular, but the perfect use for this facility would have been as one of the casino sites. Think about what an...

Thinking about what might be next in transit for Detroit. Ride-sharing technology and mobile apps that will continue to advance rapidly in the next decade. Detroit could try to play catch up with...

The reason that upper stands are steeper at some NFL stadiums is that now days they are usually sitting on top of 2 or 3 levels of luxury suites. As a result those upper stands have to be steep to...

I don't think the Pistons should move downtown permanently, and I hope there is room for both venues in Metro Detroit. The Palace is still an excellent venue, and it may better serve country or some...

There is one major missing piece in the proposed cross state railroad. Could the rail route be shifted to directly connect to Metro Airport? There are railroad tracks running on the northern bound...

All of this would be awesome. But the $2-3 billion necessary for this just isn't going to show up in the next decade.

Something like I'm describing could be put together in 2 years if the...

Could something resembling a successful mass transit system be developed using the existing Amtrak lines, a few new stations, and some short shuttle routes 1/2 to 2 miles in length to...

Yeah, I think rerouting I-75 on to I-94 and I-96 makes a lot of sense. There is no reason to route through interstate traffic right through the heart of downtown like that when you have freeway...

Just with MS Paint. Took about an hour

Fixed it all

Some of existing I-75 and all of I-375 removed.
I-75 rerouted on to I-94 and I-96.
New 5 lane surface street to replace I-375, connects into I-75

In terms of market size and media rankings, if MLB gave expansion teams to San Antonio, Charlotte, Orlando, Portland, and Sacramento [[all 50% of metro Detroit or greater); then alternate league teams...

Let me help the soccer guy.

2012 Revenue by sport
NFL - $9.5 billion
MLB - $7.7 billion
NBA - $3.8 billion
NHL - $2.9 billion
MLS - $494 million

Sorry, soccer isn't close to hockey. Even...

The footprint of a typical hockey arena is about 5 acres. Obviously, some parking area would go with it too, but 35 acres is a huge chunk of ground for a hockey arena development. These must be...

This is an ugly diagram, but has there been any talk of a physical transfer station between M-1 rail and the People Mover? I hope they figure something out, it seems like it would enhance the...

So I've posted here before, but I figured I'd show this one more time. Let me know what you think of it. It probably won't look anything like this, but I think this would be a pretty cool set up for...

The overhanging balconies is something the new arenas are really missing, and if the Red Wings do nothing resembling what I drew up in the New Olympia plan [[I hope they do), I hope at least they...

Its interesting what the responses have been. Some people hate it and think the barn look is stupid. Many are like this, thinking the replica is too literal, but like some of the elements. I have...

Lost in the discussion of how out of date, and ugly, and unfriendly to pedestrians, and disconnected with downtown Joe Louis Arena is what a monster of a building this was when it was completed. It...

This is a half serious question. How fast can these buses top out at? If there are physical lane separations on Woodward and Gratiot, they get the automatic green lights at interchanges, and some...

Something like this?
