Air pollution contributes to asthma and other harmful illnesses in children and adults. Detroit needs significant investment in non-motorized transportation made possible also by increasing density and access to essential services close to where people live and public mass transportation.

Fun Fact: Ever heard of GO Transit Detroit/Windsor Line? This line was proposed in 1989 by the Think Rail Group, as apart of a larger proposal for rail transportation in Ontario.
The first phase of this plan recommended transferring all VIA Rail service running within Ontario to GO Transit.

So let me get this straight: The "Save the Bricks" people lost, but in part because of their campaign the public transit got cut. And that didn't even save any bricks? Great.
So sad ... bricks to be removed, replaced by brick-looking surface. Farewell Corktown

As part of the next phase of the Michigan Central redevelopment in Detroit, there's now a proposal for both regional and international rail (Chicago to Toronto via Detroit). It’s obviously still very preliminary, but what kind of regional or intercity rail could work here?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Come with me: your favorite car-free mom in the D goes to The State of Transit Annual Meeting! I took the 52, then transferred onto the 16—both buses were less than a 5-minute walk to my destination. Left with Alex via the amazing #9 People Mover.
