Some Midland (area) Updates -
1. Saginaw Streetscape Project
Midland City Council recently approved a budget amendment and purchase approval for Phase 1 of the planned Saginaw Streetscape project. The initial work will include constructing 8 ft. walkways along both sides of Saginaw, new street lighting, new plantings, and improved access.
2. Edenville Dam
The state / EGLE is stepping in to “alleviate concerns about the stability of the remaining dam embankment, restore natural river flow to the Tobacco River, reverse negative impacts on natural resources and seek to avoid another major flooding event when winter snow melts and spring rainstorms arrive."
3. Temporary M-30 Bridge
And in other post-flooding cleanup / restoration news, MDOT has begun working on a temporary bridge structure in Gladwin County.
