Page 14 THE COMMUNITY CRIER: October 23,1996 R eady for w in ter driving? T h e P - C C o m m u n i t y What are the biggest hassles driving in The P l y m o u t h - C a n t o n Community? Here’s some problems with winter driving in the community and how to • S teer clear of hidden P ly m o u th an d C an to n streetscape features. It was just a little more than a year ago that a motorist took out one of Plymouth’s Ann Arbor Trail pedestrian island light posts. Take care not to slide into one this year. They were expensive to replace (and it took a long time, too). avoid them.
