Passing along project signs stating for the installation of fiber optic cable and a postive train control system at the station stop in Michigan City, Ind., Amtrak Wolverine train 350 continues on its journey east for its first Michigan station stop at Niles, March 12, 2010. The signs went up along Amtrak’s Michigan Corridor line in Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana over the winter season after the railroad learned that a $40 million grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would be awarded to improve its track and signals for a possibly high-speed of 110mph. The grant money will also used for station projects in Battle Creek, Dearborn and Troy. (Photo by J.R. Valderas)

Can Motor City combat its economic ills by becoming Rail City?
Along Detroit’s Woodward Avenue, a downtown stretch that seems permanently stuck in the “emerging” phase of business development, community leaders are hoping a new light rail system will help spark a renaissance. The city plans to break ground this year on stage one of a $420 million project: the first modern, mass-transit initiative in a city long synonymous with automobiles.
“Transit in Detroit has kind of been a joke,” says Matt Cullen, CEO of M1 Rail, a private consortium heading the development effort. “We’ve been a victim of balkanized politics and other efforts. But now we have a plan in place. We’ll get it done, and we feel it will have a huge impact on this region.”
In most cities, civic cash would pay for major infrastructure projects like a new mass transit system. But in Detroit, which faces a $300 million annual budget deficit, private backers have stepped in to try to kick-start the venture.
Something major happened Wednesday to Detroit, and we all should be standing up applauding this game-changing event.
The first part of the story is the $25 million the U.S. government committed to the M-1/Woodward Avenue Light Rail Project on Feb. 17. The big news is the partnership between public and private money that made this federal grant possible.
The project combines the power of Detroit, the state via the Michigan Department of Transportation and at least four financial superstars (including Roger Penske, Mike Ilitch, Peter Karmanos Jr. and Dan Gilbert) who are doing everything within their power to get Detroit where it needs to be. Bless you, boys.
Say what you will about some of their other financial decisions (re: Kwame), but this light rail thing is a winner.
“Your business community should be congratulated,” said Frank Rapoport, Chair of the Global Infrastructure and Public Private Partnership (P3) team for international law firm McKenna, Long & Aldridge LLP. “Detroit is out front here. It’s a great example of a public-private partnership.”
