I have seen proposals for light rail and other transportation schemes going back decades. I recall one such scheme being published in a Detroit magazine back when Detroit had such things.

I remember when they opened the Festival Marketplace in Greektown in the '80s. Know what? Everywhere I turned, there was a police officer. Whoever runs Detroit has known for a long time what needs to be done, but, for whatever reason, doesn't do it. What happened with the People Mover? That was supposed to help.

I had to leave Detroit in 2003. I couldn't handle the automatic gunfire in the middle of the night anymore.
