A day without cars on Belle Isle? + Transit in Macomb County at risk Daily Detroit

    • Daily News

Transit Guide Detroit's Dave Gifford joins us for a conversation on a couple of topical issues.
First, what about a day once in awhile with no cars on Belle Isle? A petition aims to do just that. We also do some myth busting about Belle Isle's history and design.
Petition: https://www.change.org/p/car-free-day-on-belle-isle
Plus, Macomb County due to a procedural matter may not have SMART on the ballot this November to renew their millage if action is not taken.
Without the millage, all of the communities in Macomb County would lose their service.
Beyond that, it's going to be a tough fight at the ballot box to keep it. David helps us sort things out.
