BIRMINGHAM — The Department of Public Services is in the process of developing plans for the Booth Park entry plaza
and trail improvement project. An accessible seating and gathering area, trail entry identifier and signage, a restroom facility and native gardens are among the new features the city included in its preliminary park plan.
The project was one of the priority projects when a $11.25 million parks and recreation bond was passed in November of 2020. Birmingham Parks and Recreation Manager Carrie Laird said it has been the
intention of the city to complete Booth Park with an entry plaza ever since it was developed into what it is today. The city is currently working with a consultant to help develop what the project See BOOTH PARK on page 8A

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — The Bloomfield Hills High School Class of 2024 is graduating a record number of twins and triplets this year. A total of 13 sets of twins and 1 set of triplets has broken the record for the most multiple siblings in the same grade level in Bloomfield Hills Schools history. Out of the 422 students in the Class of 2024, 29 belong to a twin or triplet set. This school record was noticed when BHHS Secretary Laurie Mezey saw an article about a high school in Pennsylvania with 11 sets of twins. She realized that BHHS had them beat. “In Bloomfield, we always try to be the best at everything. So when we saw the school in Pennsylvania claimed to have the record and when we found out we had them beat, we had to set the record straight,” BHHS principal Daniel Hartley said. Some of the students shared their experiences of growing up with a twin by their side. “I think it was a really great thing to be able to go through my whole education
