Qline stimulus? Developer to build 1,000 apartments near QLine

Agreed Lowell.
Finley talks up the Q line and offers no quote from the developer on it's importance, it seems more an emphasis from Nolan than Cummings.

Will the Q have its own traffic signals? Really saddened to see it not have its own dedicated lane and be behest to traffic. Why not take the bus? Ah too help Detroit newbies skip that uncomfortable experience.

Would rather have seen 400 clean diesal buses for bus rapid transit taking Detroiters to suburban areas without buses like Livonia. Ask the walking man who walked to Troy for his factory job. Our metro region has the highest distances separating workers [[in Detroit) from suburban jobs. The Q doesn't make sense in this big picture.

If you want to see 400 clean diesel rapid transit buses then vote for the RTA millage in November.

M-1 Rail, like most streetcar systems, were built for and even to build up an urban landscape not for shuttling commuters over 20 miles. And buses aren't supposed to do that either. They're supposed to be feeders into a more concrete transit system backbone like metro, light rail, and bus rapid transit.

But, if you were to read any of the threads about transit you would probably get the answers to your questions.
