Description

Today's show has two big stories, focused on the city of Detroit. The City has a new food truck ordinance. Detroit has lacked guidelines in this area for about a decade, limiting that industry. Cities around the world have been using this as a way to grow not only entrepreneurship but access to food in underserved areas of town. District six Councilmember Raquel Casteñeda Lopez - the author of the ordinance - joins us to talk about it. And second: It looks like that plan to save the historic Dairy Cattle Building at the State Fairgrounds and turn it into a transit center is in real jeopardy. I'll talk to Detroit’s chief operating officer Hakim Berry about what the administration plans next, whichever way city council votes Tuesday on the proposal.  I'll also talk to consultant for D4 and preservation supporter Francis Grunow about what's in the deal and the compromise it took to get here.
