New report shows I-94 widening not supported by data
A new national report identifies state plans to widen I-94 through Detroit as one of 11 examples of wasteful highway spending based on its outdated assumptions. The study finds that the $2.7 billion project is based upon old forecasts of traffic trends that have proven badly in error and calls for the state to reconsider the widening and reprioritize scarce transportation dollars elsewhere.
Numerous local stakeholders have spoken out in opposition to the widening project and continue to urge MDOT to drastically scale back the project to acknowledge decreased driving and better support local community needs.
