Hit & run involving innocent traffic calming circle

Speed kills

Taken this morning at Traverse City’s intersection of Webster and Wellington. Any information regarding this crash and burn is likely with only the driver and their smashed up grill or fender. Hopefully, it is a lesson that alters their behavior.

This hits home, just last night I was buzzed by a speeding driver in the Webster St. alley near this location. It was close enough that I screamed insanities.

Ding! Ding! to M.Coco for the photos.

Open discussion: Acme’s Village at Grand Traverse

Who has the skinny on Acme Township’s Village at Grant Traverse Meijer project?

Any projections on the impact to the region? What is there to love about the project? Why is the central park stuffed into a forgotten corner?  Apparently, there have been easements granted for multi-use trails to and through the project, but “not funded in current phase“–Why not?  When?

I invite you, in particular Acme residents, to comment here or send a message. The Acme Township Board meets tonight (REagle) to possibly make the final decision in what has been a long, contentious process.

What do you think the Acme board needs to hear? 

Conceptual plan and other documents online here.
