Livingstone County and WALLY

In a follow-up to last week's post about WALLY, the proposed Ann Arbor-Howell commuter rail, the Detroit News has a price tag-$150,000-for the feasibility study and a breakdown of who's paying what. The last holdout? Livingstone County, which would need to cough up $30,000 between itself and local business groups. Full story.

WALLY moving forward

The Livingstone Press & Argus reports that the proposed Ann Arbor-Howell commuter rail ('WALLY' for Washtenaw-Livingstone counties) is still moving forward, if slowly. Trains would run over tracks owned by the Great Lakes Central Railroad.
