Metropolitan Parkway or Metro Parkway is a major thoroughfare in Metro Detroit that stretches west from Metro Beach Metropark. After intersecting several streets, it goes under the names Big Beaver Road (through Troy, MI), Quarton Road (through Bloomfield Township, MI, and the border between Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills), Walnut Lake Road (through West Bloomfield Township, MI), and Buno Road (through Milford Township, MI). The Metro Parkway name stretches westerly through Macomb County to Dequindre Road, where it crosses into Oakland County and its name changes to Big Beaver Road. Although not technically called such, Metropolitan Parkway corresponds to "16 Mile Road" in Metropolitan Detroit's mile road system and is sometimes referred to that way by area residents, depending on the portion of the road being referred to.
