DETROIT -- Two 5-foot sections of steel streetcar tracks will be signed during a ceremony celebrating the public-private partnership behind Detroit's M-1 Rail project.
The track signing is scheduled Monday morning at Grand Circus Park.
It will follow a keynote address by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx. Other federal, state and local officials including Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan are expected to attend.
The 3.3-mile project is designed to link downtown Detroit to the city's New Center area. It's scheduled for completion in 2016.
The federal government announced a $12 million grant last week to help complete the $140 million light rail line which will have 16 curbside and four median passenger stations. It is expected to spur economic and job growth along the Woodward Corridor.
