Currently, I am a civil engineering student at Michigan State University. I have grown up in and around Detroit so I hold the city close to my heart. In a professional writing course I am in right now, I am doing research in to the issues surrounding mass transit in Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan.

If all of you could please present your views on the issues around it, it would be greatly appreciated. Personally, I believe that mass transit will save Detroit and allow the land use projects to kick in to high gear. The issue I see is extending the transit options in to the suburbs in the correct way. We as a city need to do this right before we have another people mover on our hands.

Give me your opinions. You will be helping my research so much and allow me to analyze opinions surrounding the issues and eventually be able to present this to a larger body.
