LOL what? If anything Townsend is following in the steps of Marie Donigan who was the previous Royal Oak/Mad Heights state rep who was a big supporter of public transit.
The Walter Reuther was built to support the growing suburban landscape. I don't think it necessarily "competes" with the Edsel Ford at all. They both have their commuters and trucks.
696 is a suburban freeway. The suburbs were built around the freeway. 94 was built around an urban landscape and that landscape should be first and foremost, not some widening that will further destroy said landscape.
