Millionaires fund Detroit light rail project

I haven't had a chance to really read this yet, but I just discovered the 1915 Report on Detroit street railway traffic and proposed subway.

Thanks for that info. Very interesting to see the plans. Makes you wonder what the state of Detroit would be had that subway been built and probably expanded on quite a bit.

Well, Dan Gilbert is representing that dual-curbside light rail is the best way to go, seemingly because he believes that it will create the most interaction with stores and businesses. So, at least we now know where he stands on the issue, despite our many opinions that center-street is more effective. Whatever the plan is, I sincerely hope it just gets built, and soon.

P.S. this MLive article is really comprehensive on what Gilbert is doing, for those of you who need to catch up.
