The trouble with having private individuals fund publicly-used roadways is the relative myopia...Gilbert will spend to get more people to the casino, but NOT help to make the next exit more safe for his employees to get to work.
That whole area is one mis-step away from a horrible multi-car pileup...EVERY MORNING! Mixing the brash and relatively inexperienced young Quickens with the older conservative liability-conscious BCBS folks, the last two exits before I-375 ends are blocked and stopped well into the freeway...made worse by those who dash in at the last minute. [[I believe those folks should be shot on sight, btw)
Add the GM employees who actually GUN their gas pedals through this whole fiasco, only to end up in the ever-increasing que for that left turn into the Beaubien Street parking structures for the RenCen...that whole area needs re-working...and NOT by the idiotic dreams of bringing it back to street-level and making a pedestrian boulevard out of it all.
Oh, what a mensch our 'savior' is...bringing the cash only WHEN it suits him, rather than being a leader and gathering what is necessary to actually get the job done right.
Cheers, anyways...where's my espresso?!
