Work on the M-1 Rail starts rolling this year, but first off: the bid process.
Excerpt:
"Detroit's $137 million, 3.3-mile M-1 Rail streetcar project along Woodward is seeking proposals from local contractors and suppliers as it aims to start construction this year...
"The release of the bid packages is another important step forward for this project," said Paul Childs, M-1 Rail chief operating officer.
"Our construction manager has indicated the streetcar project has generated significant interest from the local contractor and supplier community, so they’re expecting to receive a very strong response to their requests for proposal."
Childs said M-1 expects to get 5,000 riders a day, about 1.8 million annually, when it starts service in 2016."
