@DrTCombs This response I have seen echoed many times in local groups

"There was like zero interest
in anywhere near a business having some of these things, because all of the businesses saw that they needed to have direct car access right in front of their building."

I find that an uncompelling argument, as there are only every a few spaces in front of any given business and it seems unlikely that turnover is so great that those two or three spots are really driving the majority of sales.

@BrentToderian here in the Motor City we should really transform Woodward Ave. It is absolutely gigantic and could so easily support dedicated bus lanes or light rail, bike lanes and still have room for car travel.

This is one of the country's iconic streets in the city that takes its nickname from cars, and it would be a meaningful indication of progress if it could be transformed into a place for people.
