Woodward AA is a unique opportunity to meet the need for rapid transit on a champion corridor. INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes key elements related to the development of the Woodward Avenue Rapid Transit Alternatives Analysis (AA) Purpose and Need. These elements include a historical background of the study area, and demographic and transportation existing conditions along the Woodward corridor. The Woodward AA is a culmination of the unfinished work begun on the Woodward Light Rail Transit project and the background system planning completed through SEMCOG’s Regional Transit Coordinating Council (RTCC) Comprehensive Regional Transit Plan to bring rapid transit to Woodward Avenue and the broader Southeast Michigan region. The 2008 RTCC plan identified Woodward Avenue as a priority corridor for rapid transit implementation. The Woodward AA study area expands beyond the former 9.3 mile Woodward LRT project boundary in Wayne County and encompasses the entire 27 mile Woodward corridor. It traverses both Wayne and Oakland Counties and eleven distinct communities traveling northwest from Downtown Detroit to Pontiac. WOODWARD COMMUNITIES NEED MORE MOBILITY OPTIONS INCLUDING RAPID TRANSIT Woodward is currently the most successful transit corridor in the state of Michigan. The largest transit carrier in the state, the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT), and the second largest transit provider, the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transit (SMART), provide service on Woodward. Despite the success of Woodward as a strong transit corridor and the Cities of Detroit and Highland Park having the highest transit dependent populations among communities along the corridor, the personal automobile is still the predominant mode of transport. Transit Connectivity Neither DDOT nor SMART provides regular end to end transit service between Pontiac and Downtown Detroit. DDOT does not provide transit service within Oakland County. SMART buses travel from south Oakland County communities to the State Fairgrounds Transit Center south of 8 Mile Road in Detroit. However, SMART offers only limited stop service south of 8 Mile Road in Detroit during weekday peak period hours. In Detroit, SMART buses only pick up passengers on northbound trips and drop off passengers on southbound trips. Executive Summary | 2 Travel Time Reliability For drivers traveling the entire 27 mile corridor between Pontiac and Detroit, the I-75 corridor rather than Woodward is the preferred route. The I-75 freeway’s increased speed and the absence of signalized intersections make it an attractive route for travelers seeking to reach destinations in a “rapid” manner. However, varying weather and traffic conditions on I-75, especially

  • Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”
    “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018).
