PODCAST: Your Michigan Central questions, Let's make transit work (and Go Pistons!)

Devon, Norris, and Jer respond to your listener feedback on recent stories - specifically around Michigan Central seeming to be very quiet, and the prospects for improved transit in the city and area - and get hyped about the Tigers and Pistons. 

2:27 - Detroit Tigers' Strong Start

3:52 - Detroit Pistons vs. New York Knicks Playoff Preview

5:32 - Upcoming Studio Open House Announcement: Details about the Daily Detroit studio open house event scheduled for Saturday, April 26th at TechTown. [Eventbrite]

6:46 - Michigan Central Station Activity & Development: Addressing listener concerns about perceived inactivity at Michigan Central, discussing the phased rollout (taking years), the specific uses (collaboration space, events, hotel - not just Ford offices), parking logistics, coffee shop hours, comparison to Ford's Dearborn R&D center, and the upcoming opening of "The Study" space.

9:21 - Metro Detroit Transit Debate: Responding to a listener question about Devon's perceived negativity towards transit, leading to a broader discussion about the realism of large-scale expansion plans ("fantasy maps") vs. improving the existing infrastructure (bus efficiency, signal priority, better transit centers, smart road technology), funding challenges, cultural attitudes towards transit vs. cars, and the potential role of automakers in developing future solutions.
