Because the QLine tracks occupy the traffic lane closest to the sidewalk in front of The Max, drop-off and pick-up is not permitted on Woodward Avenue. Please use the designated drop-off point on Selden Street between Woodward and Cass; the best address to search for the drop-off point is 20 Selden Street. This is also the preferred address to use for rideshare arrivals and departures.
