According to our favorite transportation writer over at Crain's, Bill Shea, "The public will get its first glimpse this week of a draft of a three-county regional transportation plan that spells out how to improve current regional mass-transit options, where to build new elements such as light rail, and how to pay for it all." We've been following light rail plan developments for a while, so this is pretty interesting stuff.

Shea says, "Both Woodward plans say the line would feed into the 48-mile Ann Arbor-Detroit commuter rail line under study by SEMCOG and targeted for 2010 operation."

2010?! That's so soon! How awesome would public transportation be? We're one step closer to building Detroit up to greatness.
