Should We Rethink I-375 in Detroit?

Today, we go to the Mackinac Policy Conference to talk with members of the Rethink I-375 coalition to understand the nuances of the proposed I-375 redesign project and community concerns as a meeting is coming up this week.

Learn about the controversial redesign of the I-75/I-375 interchange and the complex considerations around land use, the number of highway lanes that echoes wide thoroughfares like Telegraph, community impact, and the project's potential to address historical injustices.

My guests are Olga Stella and Carl Bentley, both in the context of the their community coalition.
