Detroit Street Railways for the win?
Hat tip to National Railroad News for the exciting information that Detroit might be getting a light rail system. Crain's Detroit Business reports that there's private money behind a proposed 3.4-mile loop on Woodward between Hart Plaza and Grand Boulevard. The project is called the "Woodward Transit Catalyst Project." Local officials figure it'll give impetus to the proposed SEMCOG commuter rail project.

Would surely be nice to see, though I'm not holding my breath.
The scary thing is that comment that private money could save 20 years off planning...which implies that it takes at least twenty damn years to plan in the first place. Maybe I'm being unfair in estimating the magnitude of the challenge, but it seems to me that's an undue amount of time. Even for the government.
