Among
cities in southeastern Michigan, Livonia has the best main freeways serving
the entire region, including I-275 to the north and south and I-96 to the east
and west, which serve both I-94 and M- 14. Livonia gets its reputation
as a well-planned city partly because all of its main surface streets
were originally designed for five-lane access. These roads include Five,
Six, Seven, and Eight Mile roads, and Inkster, Middlebelt, Farmington,
Newburgh, Schoolcraft, Plymouth and Joy Roads. Because Livonia was designed
for growth, we've been able to avoid the frustrating traffic gridlock
other cities now face. Livonia is a mere 20 to 30 minutes from Michigan's
largest municipal airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and our businesses
enjoy their proximity to the many rail lines throughout this region.
