February 21, 1981 -- LANSING -- Gov. William G. Milliken has launched a last-ditch effort to save the controversial Detroit subway project from the Reagan Administration's budget ax.
The existing plan, approved by the Legislature and the Southeast Michigan Transportation Authority, would provide buses, commuter tains, a downtown Detroit 'people mover' rail loop and a subway no more than six miles in length.
Cost estimates range from $900 million to $1.6 billion, with the federal government providing 80 percent and the state 20 percent.
