I always love reading the newspapers as I travel around the state and nation.  You never know what you’ll find.

On Friday, I read about a proposed rail line that would run between Howell and Ann Arbor.  Planners hope to have it running by the Fall.  Here’s the article:

It is anybody’s guess about whether this will actually happen.  The proposed commuter line between Detroit and Ann Arbor has been delayed for at least a year.  And public transportation has a way of losing momentum in the Detroit area.

But what I found really interesting was this paragraph in the article: “Cicchella (Northfield Township Supervisor) said the plan is to create a transit authority that would be expandable in order to oversee the potential growth of the railroad south to Monroe and north to Traverse City and Petoskey.”

So, anyone know anything about this?
