Leaving behind all the opinions about I94 and whether we'll get whatever system the gods of Detroit decide for Woodward....

I came across this article on transit rules and potential changes that address the heart of the issues of urban transit design. The tension between 'frequent stops' and 'express' service reminded me that LRT is not just a single decision -- yes or no. Like highway design, it too is full of alternatives that can make a system great, or not.

Lots of food for thought on what Detroit really needs from its transit...http://www.slate.com/articles/busine...n_cities_.html
