Central to this initiative is Amtrak’s ambitious Cleveland–Toledo–Detroit/Pontiac corridor. This proposed route would facilitate travel from Pontiac to Cleveland, with strategic stops in Troy, Royal Oak, Detroit, Toledo, and Sandusky. Notably, this week saw the inclusion of two key destinations: Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus and Cleveland Hopkins Airport in Ohio. Under the Corridor Identification and Development Program (Corridor ID), this corridor is set to receive up to $500,000 for planning a new conventional rail system.

Another idea looong overdue. I guess more than 100 years of inertia is bound to render civic planning a little…rusty.
