Some of these ideas were in that book Reimagining Detroit. I know that according to the book, they did some of these things in Kzoo, specifically the 'daylighting' of waterways and better use of it's 'blue' areas to enhance residency areas. People do like to live next to water. Is any of this going to happen? I think some of it is already in the works like the article says with transit and lighting. I need to read the whole report after it comes out today. I like some of the ideas, though.
