Shady Knoll subdivision just off the Expressway, one miles east of the Ford plant, is typical of population growth in Eastern Washtenaw county. So far, there are 76 houses up, of which all but 12 are sold. Forty-one families are now living in the subdivision. Hannah sales agents report that the two-bedroom homes are by far the most popular. When finished, the streets will be complete with concrete curbs and gutters and asphalt surfacing supplied by the Madison Construction Co., buildings of the subdivision.

Controversial Overpass Locations: This aerial view shows the two locations for a proposed bridge to carry traffic over the US-12 Expressway east of Grove Rd. in Ypsilanti township. The State Highway Department says it will construct an overpass (solid line) to connect Hull and Glenwood Aves. as soon as the Township Board approves the location. Residents of the area maintain the overpass should be built about 1,000 feet eastward and connect Harris Rd. (dotted line) across the Expressway. The large housing development at lower left is part of the Shady Knoll Subdivision.

Boost School Enrollment: The sudden increase in the number of children under 20 years of age in the Ypsilanti School District is being directly attributed to a pair of housing developments southeast of Ypsilanti - the Nancy Park and Shady Knolls subdivisions. This aerial view (top) is looking north toward those two residential areas. The Ypsilanti Board of Education last night bought a school site adjacent to the clump of trees (center) directly north of Nancy Park (lower development).
