Area townships bulk at Dixie Highway lane reduction proposal

Several Oakland County townships say the Road Commission is heading in the wrong direction with a proposed $16 million road diet for Dixie Highway. Earlier this year, the Road Commission for Oakland County pitched a $16 million safety overhaul for Dixie Highway that would shrink a 10-mile stretch from Davisburg Road to the Genesee County line. Under the proposed plan, the existing four-lane road would be reconfigured into three lanes. Traffic would be reduced to one lane in each direction, separated by a center two-way left-turn lane.

Detroit looks to retrain bus operators following horse incident

The city of Detroit is retraining its bus operators after a widely publicized bus stop where two horses boarded. A video from a city bus taken Nov. 7 shows the bus driver pulling up to a stop where two men on horses are waiting. The driver then lowers the ramp and lets the men walk and guide the horses on the bus. "If they can get in here, it is what it is," the bus driver says in the video. He can also be heard asking if the horses are service animals as they board the bus. More: Horses on a bus? Detroit officials say the video is real In a statement released Friday, DDOT officials said they reviewed the footage. "While DDOT welcomes service animals to ride the bus when they meet the requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it appears that these horses were brought on the bus for other reasons," the statement reads, adding that the actions in the video "were meant to draw awareness to a positive cause" but did not specify what the cause was. DDOT said the situation presented safety concerns for other passengers on public transit and for the horses involved
