Saline Sets Higher Michigan Ave Speed Limits
Saline moves to raise Michigan Avenue speed limits by 10 mph after a November 1970 study found 85 percent of drivers exceed current limits. New limits would be 45 mph from the eastern city limit to Davenport Street and 35 mph from Davenport to 750 feet west of Monroe Street, with 45 mph again to the west city limit. City officials protested the change, noting the highway through town is not under municipal control, and a council resolution urged Lingeman to reconsider.

Repairs Planned for Saline Ann Arbor Road After Surface Breakup
The County Road Commission says the deepest ruts on Saline Ann Arbor Road will be filled as soon as weather warms. Patchwork will target the hole north of Water Works Rd where the new blacktop has eroded to the original road. A meeting with state and contractor representatives discussed causes and planned repairs next spring under the contractor’s bond to avoid extra taxpayer costs.
