Mass transit and high speed rail has been quite the political football in Troy but things seem to be settling down after the city council was able to find common ground and the recent recall of the transit center's most vocal critic Mayor Janice Daniels.
Excerpt:
"The center, located behind the shops at Coolidge and Maple roads near the Troy/Birmingham border, utilizes the existing rail line and is part of a comprehensive plan to bring “the fastest high speed rail outside of the northeast corridor” (in the words of Congressman Gary Peters) to a line that runs from Pontiac through Troy, Royal Oak, Detroit and all the way to Chicago. It also will connect with SMART (suburban bus) lines as well as taxis and automobiles."
