The last few days I've drove past road construction on Wooward from just north of I-75 to just south of MLK. Until today, I haven't paid much attention as to what they are doing. With so much road construction in Detroit and the state of Michigan, I wrote it off as just some more orange barrels to drive around. A few minutes ago however I took notice. In the center turn lane they have ground up the asphault in a manner that looks almost perfect width for a set of rails. Now I realize that there must be a track bed and other steps in order to install the usable tracks, but is this part of the environmental impact study? It just seems odd to me that they only tore up two strips for maybe 1/2 mile or less up Woodward.
