I can not believe this has not been resolved yet...
A crucial dispute about the very nature of the proposed Woodward Avenue light-rail line in Detroit threatens to further delay or even block the project.
Should it be a speedy transit service to hurry people quickly to and from downtown? Or should it operate as a slower, perhaps friendlier, trolley-type line with frequent stops to aid business and tourism?

A line that backers once predicted would be up and running by now, at least in its downtown section, won't come on line now before 2016.
Shocker.
