A2: Train Station

The Detroit News is among several media outlets reporting on U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s announcement of $200 million for high-speed rail in Michigan, mostly to improve the rail corridor between Detroit and Chicago. From the report: “LaHood also is expected to announce the department is awarding $2.8 million, or 80 percent, of the costs of building a $3.5 million station in Ann Arbor. The intermodal station will be used by Amtrak, the University of Michigan and Ann Arbor Transportation Authority.” The reference is to the proposed Fuller Road Station near UM’s medical campus.
