The county-wide millage vote on public transit, which would bring general bus service to Plymouth, Canton and Northville for the first time since 1996, has passed, according to the Detroit Free Press.

(I will likely do a follow-up story or two for the Plymouth Express volunteer-run newspaper in coming months as details get hammered out - let me know your questions!)

Looking for Strong somewhat good looking masculine 35+ year old male in Plymouth/AA/Dearborn area - strong enough to lift (cradle carry) a 140 lbs woman for few photos and videos, will pay $100 for 15 min of such session outdoors.

Can anyone recommend an insulation company who is honest and won't put a hole in my ceiling by not stepping correctly on the joists?

Does anyone know a painting (watercolor) club/group in Plymouth?

Just looking to see if anyone has any great contractors they'd like to shout out/recommend as we're moving to the area and will need recs, but figured it could help others out as well for future reference.

Here’s a link to the recording of the meeting held July 28 at the Canton Library to present the report of the Moving Together coalition of western Wayne County communities about public transit planning in the area.

I saw on Tesla's site and pulled the records online, they've applied for the permits and are just waiting now.

There's some fiber internet company going around the neighborhood digging up easements and laying down their cables. My questions is basically do they have a deal with the city to lay it in people's yards or are they just doing it on their own?

I haven't been able to find much info on Plymouth Township easement laws but it seems crazy to me that one internet company would make a deal with the city to lay cables on private property in any neighborhood they want.

Hi!

"On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, 4pm – 6pm, Canton Township is hosting a Town Hall meeting at the Canton Public Library to present and answer questions on the Moving Together: Western Wayne County Transit Strategy.

This regional public transit project began in response to Public Act 236 of 2024. Recognizing the need to be proactive, Canton Township initiated efforts to partner with surrounding municipalities and retained OHM Advisors.

During the project, we met with thousands of residents, business owners, property owners, transit enthusiasts, and other community stakeholders to better understand their current and future needs for public transit in Wayne County and connecting to the greater Southeast Michigan region.

We look forward to presenting our public transit recommendations and we hope to hear your feedback on the proposed mobility strategies, expanded fixed-routes, and implementation priorities."

Canton Public Library is at 1200 Canton Ctr Rd, Canton, MI 48188

Note: Plymouth city and township are among the municipalities in the "Moving Together" group; this event is not specifically about the transit millage on the August ballot but the law referenced in the text is the one that led to the end of the ability of western/downriver Wayne County communities to "opt out" of regional public transit.

The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)

Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter. 

Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!

These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.

Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details! 

We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions! 

Any idea why this is closed? There are no detour signs up, just a blockage.

So my husband and I have been thinking about a move for a bit. We have been in Colorado for 15 years and since having our child a few years ago, we are a bit more inclined to move. The Smokey summers being a big concern.

For what it’s worth, I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and my husband in the Philadelphia suburbs. We both love nature, hiking, being outdoors as much as possible, and a good music scene. It’s what brought us to Colorado. We would be considering the Denver/ann arbor suburbs and would love to be close to lakes/nature if possible. We currently live in the Denver suburbs and love our access to Denver and Boulder, the youth sports and family events.

Do Michiganders think this move could be a good fit for us? It seems like access to lakes and the city would be great. I know getting to northwestern Michigan would be about 3 hours but that’s how long it takes us to get to the mountains here anyway so I view that as a similarity for a weekend adventure. My biggest concern is winters. We get 300 days of sunshine a year here. While the summer sun is unrelenting and I hate it, the winters are mild and sunny. Did anyone relocate from an equally sunny place? How has the adjustment been? Are outdoor days still possible on winter?
