Didn't this city go broke a bit ago? ----------M-­1 rail public hearing set for Jan. 22

M-­1 rail public hearing set for Jan. 22 | Crain's Detroit Business

And isn't the Detroit "People Mover" a lemon on the scale of Obamacare?
And does anyone really believe the "11 stops" will only cost $137 million?
And didn't EVERY incumbent in Detroit get re-elected in the last election?
And Crain's thinks this will turn out ....how?
The city of Detroit and the Michigan Department of Transportation will host a joint public hearing on Jan. 22 to discuss their operating licenses for the $137 million streetcar line planned for Woodward Avenue.
..The M-1 Rail streetcar project involves the construction of a mostly curbside-running, fixed streetcar circulation system, commingled with traffic, along a 3.3-mile grade-level loop on Woodward Avenue. 
It will have 11 stops between Grand Boulevard and Congress Street and will run in the median at its north and south ends.
The system is expected to be in service by February 2016.
