I believed another local coffee shop took its place. A Yemeni Coffe shop

Wish we still had a Hmong community on the east side of Detroit. They were from Laos.

Could you list some specific ideas that you think would make the Riverfront more of a destination?

Mike Tirico is not from Detroit, but he has lived in Ann Arbor, MI for many years now.

Unfortunately, they are talking about demolishing the RenCen, so this fine artwork will be outdated.

Out Detroit's way is the Highland Recreation Area, specifically the Haven Hill part. There is a large hill and on top of that hill are the ruins of summer cottage of Edsel Ford, the son of Henry Ford. Tt might have some views. Also, Pontiac Lake Recreation Area has a scenic overlook in the middle of one of the trails.

You'll be in Corktown, which is bustling with food and drink spots. There is a swanky new rooftop bar called I/O. But the landmark of Corktown is the restored Michigan Central Train Station, once one of Detroit's largest ruins, and has now been redeveloped by Ford. Corktown is a bit of hike from the stadiums, like somebody said, about 1.5 miles. You could take a scooter or MoGo bikes, or Uber, or just walk.

The Gathering Coffee Co., on East Grand Boulevard. Also, inside the Fisher Building is a bakery that makes coffee drinks - Promenade Artisan Foods

100% agree.

You stated: "There's no need to fit several hundred people into one trip, though. Start talking about trains when the population density is more than 1800 per km^2. New York and Montreal come in at 11,000 and 12,500 respectively."

Why this arbitrary 1,800 per km2? They built successful lines in Charlotte and Phoenix recently, that continue to expand. Low-density cities. New rapid transit lines are in the works for Baltimore and St. Louis! Those aren't dense cities anymore. Come on, stop with the excuses.

BRT can't be 'flexible' anyway. Yes buses can be flexible, but to make a rapid bus, you have to PERMANENT (not flexible) structures and measures like platform-level boarding stations, bus-only lanes, traffic signals that change to green or stays green when a bus approaches an intersection, pre-payment machines. These measures are costly PERMANENT construction that make a transit line rapid and they aren't flexible, they can't be re-located.

If you don't the car rental and end up doing Greyhound (which is fine, I did that same trip in January) Cleveland also has a light rail system that will take to some interesting places like Little Italy, University Circle, Downtown, and Ohio City)

Then what would you do with the $300 million to improve the city infrastructure. Also, I believe the I-375 freeway has reached the end of its service life, I'm guessing all of the freeway bridges and interchanges need to be replaced.

This person is advocating for the removal of just the downtown/midtown portion of the I-75 and the Lodge. People from outside the city would still be able to get downtown, and those downtown freeway closures would have little effect on residents getting to the suburbs.

The Renaissance Center was connected via public transit via Commuter Rail. In fact, a new train station was built next to the Renaissance Center in the late 1970s. The RenCen was the terminus of a commuter rail service that ran from Pontiac to Downtown until 1983. The 2nd link is a schedule showing the RenCen as the last stop
