📰 News we're reading

• MI: SMART plans for expansion into new communities after countywide vote passes (masstransitmag.com) — SMART is preparing a major expansion of bus service in Wayne County after voters approved a new transit millage, adding routes and improving frequency over the next few years. One proposed line would run from Farmington to Westland along key corridors, potentially giving Farmington residents new access to jobs, schools, shopping, and the wider regional network if the plan moves forward.
   

• Social district approved for downtown Rochester (candgnews.com) — Downtown Rochester is launching a new social district where adults can carry alcoholic drinks in designated areas, with strict wristband and cup rules and a likely November start. For Farmington residents, it's a reminder that your city already has a similar social district, part of a broader trend across Oakland County that could influence how local downtowns evolve.
