Correction
In the Dec. 28 edition of the DetroitLegal News, the cutline for the photo “Annual Seminar” mistakenly listed seminar co-moderator Judy Susskind with the Thurswell Law Firm. Susskind is actually a shareholder with Sommers Schwartz PC. The Legal News apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

Public comment sought on change to two SE Michigan road plans
DETROIT (AP) — A southeastern Michigan group is taking public comment on a proposed change to two regional transportation plans.
The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments is looking at a special amendment to the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan and the Fiscal Year 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Plan.
The amendment involves the preliminary engineering phase of infrastructure work on Mound Road in Macomb County. The project calls for reconstruction of Mound Road from Interstate 696 to M-59.
SEMCOG is accepting written comments. Residents can also address the amendment during a Jan. 17 transportation coordinating council meeting and Jan. 25 executive committee meeting.
