📰 News we're reading

• Dearborn Public Schools bond proposal: Historic $1.5 billion project would span 20 years (fox2detroit.com) — Dearborn voters are about to decide a massive $1.5 billion, 20‑year school bond that would touch every building in the district, from new pre‑K–8 schools to major high school renovations and safety upgrades. Officials say a 3.14‑mill levy will be offset so most Dearborn residents should see no net tax increase, while some Dearborn Heights residents in the district would pay more.
   

• City of Dearborn starts new parking restrictions (fox2detroit.com) — Starting today, Dearborn's west-side business district is enforcing three-hour parking limits from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. in surface lots and the first floors of parking decks, while upper levels remain unlimited. City officials say the change is meant to keep short-term spaces open near downtown shops, so plan your visits and employee parking with the new rules in mind.
