  • 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 Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit?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).

  • Preserving a “Fine Residential District”: the Merriam Park Freeway Fight Tom O’Connell and Tom Beer, Page 3
    Helping the Sun Shine Brighter for Farmers Robert Freeman on Mount Ramsey Harlan Stoehr — page 14 Winter 2013 Volume 47, Number 4 Preserving a “Fine Residential District”: The Merriam Park Freeway Fight Tom O’Connell and Tom Beer, page 3 The front cover of the May1967 issue of Minnesota Highways magazine, the official Minnesota Department of Highways employee newsletter between 1951 and 1976. At the time this cover illustration was drawn, the nation was in the midst of building the vast Interstate Highway system that was largely paid for with federal money. This illustration conveys an idealized view of how the new freeways would safely and efficiently transport automobiles and trucks into and out of a city. Plans that called for the construction of an interchange on I-94 in St. Paul at Prior Avenue produced plenty of controversy and called into question some of the underlying assumptions behind these new roadways.

  • Minnesota History: Building a Legacy
    January 2019 Minnesota History: Building A Legacy Report to the Governor and the Legislature on Funding for History Programs and Projects Supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Letter from MNHS CEO and Director In July 2018, I was thrilled to take on the role of the Minnesota Historical Society’s executive director and CEO. As a newcomer to the state, over the last six months, I’ve quickly noticed how strongly Minnesotans value their communities and how proud they are to be from Minnesota. The passage of the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment in 2008 clearly demonstrates this. I’m inspired by the fact that 10 years ago, Minnesotans voted to commit tax dollars to bettering their state for the future, including preserving our historical and cultural heritage. I’m proud that over 10 years, MNHS has been able to oversee a surge of communities engaging with their local history in new ways, thanks to the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF). As of December 2018, Minnesotans have invested $51 million in history through nearly 2,500 historical and cultural heritage grants in all 87 counties. These grants allow organizations to preserve and share stories about what makes their communities so unique through projects like oral histories, digitization, and new research. Without this funding, this important history can quickly be lost to time. A great example is the Hotel Sacred Heart—explored in our featured stories section —a 1914 hotel on the National Register of Historic Places that’s sat unused since the 1990s.

  • Lost in the Mall of America
    LOST IN THE MALL OF AMERICA “The difference between St. Paul and Minneapolis is the difference between pumpernickel and Wonder bread” - Garrison Keillor It had been a while since I had last been to Minneapolis. My visit, seven years ago, was punctuated by an encounter with the emaciated local formerly known as Prince in an elevator of the Radisson Hotel. Now, I had flown back to the city for two days of discussion and meetings with the editors of a travel magazine who were under the erroneous impression that I might have something to contribute to their Advisory Board. The hotel where we were staying was just a few hundred steps away from the state of Minnesota’s greatest single tourist attraction, and the most populated “tourist attraction” in the entirety of the Midwest, the Mall of America. It loomed on the landscape like some an architect’s nightmare, all brick and boredom with small entrances on each one of its meandering sides. I walked across the east parking lot, past a row of buses from places like Sheboygan, Merriville, and Danville, that were parked in the July sun waiting for their charges to return from the air-conditioning and the culture of the big building that sucked them in off the tarmac. Seeing those long distance “air-cooled” buses with “emergency” restrooms makes you realize what a serious place this really is. People actually view the Mall of America as a destination, a place worthy of four or five hours of highway travel and a stop or two along the interstate, similar, I suppose, to the way that Romans look at Michaelangelo's’ statue of David and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
