Winter’s not too far away

It’s never too early in Michigan to think about snow. Lake Orion Village Council members recently OK’d their annual winter maintenance agreement with the Road Commission for Oakland County.
The agreement calls for the road commission to pay the village to take care of snow and ice control on Bellevue from Heights north to the village line and on Central from Indianwood east to the east subdivision limit of LO Groves Subdivision.
Last year the rate was $2,946.15 per mile. This year it’s $3,005.07 per mile or an increase of $58.92 per mile.
