    There is that other point (none / 0) (#13)

    The treaty under which the bridge operates might well be extended (I do not know if this is the case) to the properties held by Ambassador bridge company for its use.  

    The connections as such match up as MDOT wants, but property owned and under treaty they have no say with.  Given the DUTY FREE shops in the design, I would think this is the case.  Isn't he only capitalizing on the drive by?

    If there is congestion or other traffic issues caused by his design off his map, I could see the complaints they would have.

    All of this drives home a point however.  They cannot control ambassador bridge.  MDOT has no power over the international bridge, and that is unacceptable to some on both sides of the river. It is analogous to states rights. But in this case the rights are continuously recognized and fought for.
