I tried to do the survey couldn't get it to do anything, I'm all for up dating up by the school and on maple street. Echo street no go and anything in our downtown sidewalks but nothing sticking out in the street making it difficult to plow around.
You have to do something to draw people in not that. Start with taking down the old foundry
How about you lower the water bill in east Jordan rather then take away parking spots
Survey needs work, couldn't move numbers around
City of East Jordan, I love this. I think this is all a great way to help with pollination and our beautiful wildlife here. I also think keeping our lake is imperative as well, and this will help be cleaned before going into the lake. Thank you for making these efforts!
I like the flower boxes plenty of people sit on them!!! An who is responsible for maintaining them ????? The city or the volunteers who plant in them????
Nothing to encourage pedestrians to cross anywhere other than intersection. Roads are for cars and more people will likely get hit and killed with random crosswalks. Ask charlevoix.
In the downtown proposal, we are losing parking. That’s not a good idea. Everything else is functional and pleasing. Not to mention they would all serve as pollinator gardens and the world desperately needs those.
Boy, how stupid is this idea?? Why don't you do something constructive for the people who LIVE here sometime?? And as for tourists, most of those places tourist would never see anyway!! East Jordan needs affordable housing and LOWER water bills!!
Save the ground for benches or parking. Use hanging baskets.
Get rid of those old flower boxes they are ugly who ever did those should be a shame of their self, now they are falling apart, just saying
Sorry but the flower boxes are ugly.
An people do sit on the flower beds now when we are down town for parades an other events
An obstacle to make it harder to plow the streets?
Link???
No offense but where is the money coming from city needs to focus more on helping the residents in town be able to afford their water bills rather than making new flower beds... just my opinion...
Was there a study conducted on the overall pollutants being discharged into the lake? In particular the sedimentation rates, phosphate and nitrate and nitrite? And health of the existing infrastructure from sanitary lines to the storm water system ? How did you all determine that the locations they selected would mitigate the issue ? It seems that a thorough study was not done ?
So you want to remove parking spots for flowerbeds
Don’t take up room on the streets and parking spaces for flower beds, yes the Main Street needs some beautification but this is not it!
The survey is being conducted by Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council from a Green Storm Water Infrastructure planning project that took place this year. All of the renderings are examples of how storm water can be treated in areas of the community. Survey results will act as a tool for future development planning when stormwater improvements are considered.
The City of East Jordan and the surrounding area encompasses some of the most abundant and diverse natural resources in northern Michigan.
