DETROIT – It’s going to be another busy orange barrel season in Wayne County.
Construction season is underway in Michigan’s largest county, and work will continue on several projects into the late fall months.
The county will invest over $100M into its infrastructure this construction season. Improvements will consist of over 25 road construction projects and 8 bridge capital improvement projects and nearly 70 pavement improvement projects covering primary and local roads.
In addition to their road and bridge projects, the county will also invest over $5M into improving county-owned parks. Some of these improvements include: continued renovations to exhibits at Nankin Mills, the installation of an outdoor fitness gym and senior exercise equipment at Bell Creek Park and upgrades to their favored Dog Park.

It s been more than a year since the Wayne County Commission voted to approve the sale of two historic mills in Hines Park. Since then, one of the proposed users has decided to back out from moving forward.

The county commission voted in November 2019 to authorize the sale of both the Wilcox Mill and the Newburgh Mill, 37401 Hines Drive in Livonia, a decision that saw plenty of discussion during its two meetings held that to discuss the sale that month.

No 1970′s/80′s childhood was complete without a snowmobile suit.
Elastic at the cuffs and both ankles. One-piece construction with a continuous zipper that ran from neck to the bottom of one leg. And a belt.
Well, a belt in only the most rudimentary sense. I recall it being nylon with the most goofy interlocking buckle mirror S’s that somehow fit together. And once the suit was assembled, zipped up and belted, it was time for the mittens/gloves and boots. And wool ski-mask that you put on your head like a skully and then pulled down over your face the better to trap the snot.
