Hurray for Mayfield Township! They are partnering with the Road Commission to improve three gravel roads in their township for nearly four miles in length. Bancroft Road is complete and Elliott and Rahe Roads are currently underway. Mayfield is purchasing the gravel and our crews and equipment are being utilized to place the gravel, work into the existing road base, shape up the road and then compact it. A win-win for both agencies and all those who travel these roads.
Paradise Township just agreed to team up with us to have 0.7 mile of Kingsley Road graveled!

PrintGrand Vision/Land Use & Transportation Study
In the spring of 2006, $3.3 million in federal transportation dollars were reallocated to the Grand Traverse area for the creation and implementation of a comprehensive, multi-modal transportation plan.
Grand Traverse County appointed a 29-member Land Use and Transportation Study (LUTS) coordinating group. That group included the Road Commission with Jay Hooper as its representative.
In August 2006, TC-TALUS (Traverse City Transportation and Land Use Study) issued a request for proposal (RFP) to hire a consultant that will facilitate a comprehensive, citizen-led land use and transportation planning process. The LUTS consultant selection committee recommended a consultant to conduct the Grand Vision process. Now that the Grand Vision is winding down, the LUTS group is beind disbanded.
