Class Project- Light Rail/Urban Devlopment for Flint AC Spark Plug Site

Hey all.


I'm an architecture student at Baker College in Flint, MI. For my Design II class which is Architectural Programming, And for the site my teacher has suggested that we somehow incorporate Light Rail, maybe even Amtrak, and would like some input.
(And incase your wondering I got dibs on station

Re LRT

This is probably not relevant to your immediate needs but if you want to see a heavily used, extensive, successful, modern light rail system with many lines radiating out from the City Center, go to one of my favorite cities, Portland, Oregon, USA. Rode several lines last year, plan to do more later this month.
 
It sounds interesting, but you might have to explain your project more fully before we know how we can help...
