Cool computer animation in the video, especially the aerial views for last several stations. Detroit street grid seems pretty goofy, namewise.

Running empty streetcars.....whoops....light rail vehicles....up and down Woodward Avenue will not interrupt automotive and truck traffic, since there is so little traffic there these days. Of course, without hordes of pesky passengers, this operation will run very smoothly. This line will rival the Detroit People Mover as an exercise in pointlessness.
