Bills creating a regional transit authority that was 40 years in the making; establishing a Detroit lighting authority that will allow the city to repair many of its more than 40,000 chronically broken streetlights; and paving the way for the city’s Downtown Development Authority to help fund a proposed $650-million sports and entertainment complex are among the measures signed by Snyder on a milestone day in the area's comeback.
