Toronto — When the interstate highway system was engineered in the 1950s, Dwight Eisenhower envisioned a means by which Americans and commerce could move across state lines efficiently and breezily.
John Hicks can testify that it works. He has spent much of 2017 on I-75. He has become an expert on Michigan-Ohio traffic fluidity.
This is not, however, a convenience Hicks has particularly come to love. Rather, it simply has made his ongoing trips from Triple-A Toledo to Comerica Park, and back again, and back some more, a commute he can handle, normally within an hour.
