Blueprint America: Moving Detroit Forward (PBS documentary)

A bloggers take on a PBS documentary on Transit in Detroit called Blueprint America: Moving Detroit Forward.

I am not sure what I think about the documentary that ran on PBS Friday night (and repeated early this morning), "Blueprint America: Beyond the Motor City," using the decline of Detroit to discuss transit and its ability to repattern the land use and transportation planning paradigm in the U.S.

The show discusses proposals for local light rail service in Detroit, the potential to develop a high speed rail system in the U.S., while looking at the Ave system in Spain, and manufacturing green technology and train and transit vehicles in the U.S. (and agriculture as a way to absorb vacant land in the City of Detroit).
