On Monday, January 11, the Farmington Hills City Council could decide the fate of SMART bus service for everyone in that community (and area)!!
If they c
hoose not to put the millage renewal on the ballot, local residents won’t even get to VOTE – and SMART bus service will DISAPPEAR in 2011. In 2006, renewal made the ballot by just a 4-3 vote (and then the voters supported it overwhelmingly!).
Bus service provides the people of Farmington Hills with a way to get to work, shopping and school, which we need now more than ever! It also boosts business, which we need during a recession.
If you live in Farmington Hills and care about bus service, come to the City Council meeting Monday, January 11, at 7:30pm at city offices on the southwest corner of 11 Mile and Orchard Lake Roads. Arrive a few minutes early to sign up to make a comment at the meeting.
Please encourage anyone you know in Farmington Hills to do the same!!
Not in Farmington? Remember – each municipal government in Oakland and Wayne Counties decides whether to put the SMART millage on the ballot for their voters. If they don’t put it on, there is no vote and there will be no bus service in that community! Call your city manager today to make sure SMART will be on your local ballot!!
