The only positive I see for Canada is that maybe Dr. Pepper will be more readily available in that godforsaken country

Trump says he plans to use "economic force" to make Canada a state

"We'll make the bike lanes so bad on Woodward that no one will ever ask for bike lanes ever again..."
-MDOT, probably

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@carsausage71 @DE_Gifford @MDOT_MetroDet Hell yeah

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

I just urged my Michigan legislators to make transformational investments in public transit and rail. @DetroitTransit made it easy. You should too! https://t.co/KBlU519z7v

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@DE_Gifford Should’ve at least shown a rendering of a downtown lol

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

This is what your brain looks like on single family zoning.

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@AmyHemmeter @DanielBikes_ Totally agree. I’d be all for the tax breaks if it were all only for affordable housing. Nothing else.

I give it one week before someone does donuts in front of it in the middle of the night.

[City of Detroit @CityofDetroit]

Our D-E-T-R-O-I-T sign is up!🤩

Detroit’s new Gateway sign will welcome residents and visitors to the city. The eight-foot-tall letters, mounted on two-foot-tall concrete blocks, is alongside Eastbound I-94 between Central Street and Cecil Ave.

@DE_Gifford Still think one of the few abandoned golf courses in Detroit would be better. Maybe the Palmer Park location? City could work out a deal where the Lions pay for improvements to the park in exchange for leasing the land.

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@terryfosterdet I feel like the abandoned golf course at Palmer Park would be the best location. Right next to affluent neighborhoods and Detroit Golf Club where they can share parking for large events

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@cyclesixmile Hamtramck could be Hoboken, NJ (0 traffic fatalities) so easy if it wanted to.

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@RUCKIN___ @TheIrishKnave So close 😩

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@RTAmichigan Took the 4 DDOT bus into downtown no problem. It was hell to get out. You only have transit lanes to get into downtown but none to get out. What gives? Oh I know. It’s @MDOT_MetroDet ‘s control of Woodward strangling transit

[Dave @DE_Gifford]

"Train between Detroit & Holland, through Lansing & Grand Rapids, would make profits." Huh. I've never read that about any highway expansion. So why aren't we building it already? https://t.co/z87JqGWtpo.

@JocelynBenson @michiganstateu Our state capital is a parking lot. https://t.co/vniaLRITql

[Detroit Free Press @freep]

Tall vehicle front ends pose deadly problem for pedestrians, research finds https://t.co/i7nUElNtlU

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@DE_Gifford It could probably make up most of that money on memberships and renting out as a wedding venue. At least if they partially renovated it.

[Midwest Antiquarian @Eric_Erins]

I like all of the public murals of Michigan I’ve encountered that elevate the state to a mythological height

[Mark Gorbett @markgorbett]

@RM_Transit Maybe on top of existing parking garages/decks since they are more permanently there. Then redevelop surface parking with dense transit oriented development.

[Dave @DE_Gifford]

Looking up Hastings Street before & after they built I-75 in the late 1960's. Helps really give a sense of how much was lost to the highway & urban renewal.
