Ford has said it's not developing all over the platform lands in the case that the region ever funds commuter service and/or cross-border inter-city service. It would take nothing to reuse the station as the current Amtrak service travels the same line just up to west of the station [[West Detroit junction). It's a far more direct route, in fact, than the New Center movements. The only reason that station exists is that Oakland County didn't want to totally lose rail service; that could easily be picked up/replaced by commuter service to the New Center station, whereas MCS could be used for inter-city service.
