When was the last time you were on Gratiot in Detroit? Because 99% of the time I drive it, the lanes are wide open for the relatively little traffic it sees. This is not a congested city of two million anymore. Four general purpose lanes is plenty.
Also, a big part of this plan calls for making Gratiot safer for pedestrians, as it's currently one of the deadliest roadways in the state. What you're proposing [[basically the status quo) doesn't address that problem.
