I don’t want to sound complaining; I hate continuous grumbling about the weather. But we’ve had a very abbreviated traditional Spring. What we have had here in the city, and it comes every year like one of the four seasons, is a lot of road construction. I grew up in a town that was very [...]

to have our streets adequately plowed/cleared. After last night’s surprising snowfall — not that we got snow at all but that we got so much — I wondered how bad the roads and streets in town would be. They were worse than expected. I’m one of the lucky ones. Plymouth city plows cleared my street [...]

The most devastating storm of our lifetimes — if you believed all the pre-storm hype — came and went Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Roads were deserted but passable. The City of Plymouth plows were out on residential streets early Wednesday morning and made them clear enough to drive. The amount of snow, except where drifts were [...]

It’s no surprise that there are potholes everywhere. It’s that time of year and our roads here in Michigan are not that good even in good weather.

Merry Christmas citizens of Plymouth (and surrounding areas.) After nearly two years, the Sheldon Road-M-14 underpass is open. What a relief! No longer will we have to drive through the middle of the City and/or Old Village to get to Northville or northwestern Livonia. If there are trains running through the middle of town, we [...]
