Detroit

For much of recent memory, Detroit is another of those cities where the rail transit has consisted of one of those silly little downtown people movers. While a tram has connected downtown to the Amtrak station since 2017, there is still not a lot for a city of its size. The proposed system takes some optimistic additions, since despite the Qline tram, the downtown is still relatively isolated from the surrounding rail system. I've added two spurs to the people-mover: one to connect to the long-abandoned Michigan Central station and the other to a new terminal at Eastern Market.

Another challenge with the Detroit region is that it sits at the border of another country. This proposal assumes that customs for passengers has been worked out and commuter trains can freely travel to Canada.

To maintain scale, I've split out the downtown connection lines into a separate map.
