It should not be hard at all if there wasn't lobbyist blocking the process just to keep Michigan car dependent. Each elected official should be transparent to who are funding their campaigns. If their campaigns are funded by corporations especially the Big 3, Insurance Companies, and probably the oil companies then you will know who's tunes that the elected officials will dance to. Many of these road were repaved with cheap asphalt material that usually break up after the first winter. That's another racket. Look how torn Gratiot is after 13 years of having concrete laid on it instead of asphalt. Too many companies are getting over the Michigan taxpayers. Mass transit need a lobbyist or a group of supporters in Lansing to make Mass Transit a serious issue in Michigan such as the cyclist lobbied to have bike lanes installed
