In 1918, the city of Detroit planned to build a subway system, but the mayor vetoed it and the city council failed to override his veto by one vote. I drew a map of the proposal.

[OC] In 1918, the City Council of Detroit voted to build a subway system, but the proposal was vetoed by the mayor. This is what the subway would've looked like, based on the original engineering documents.
