| Abstract | This Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) documents the environmental impacts of alternative distribution/circulation systems in the Detroit Central Business District (CBD) and responds to substantive comments received on the Draft EIS. Two alternatives to improve downtown circulation were examined in detail. The first is an automated transit system that would operate in an elevated, tracked guideway and would be controlled from a central operations facility. This Downtown People Mover system would be a 2.96-mile, single-lane, elevated loop around the CBD and would serve thirteen stations. The second is a circulator bus system, which could range from continuation of the two-route circulator now operating downtown to an extensive new system serving the same thirteen stops as the Downtown People Mover. |
