Traverse City leaders will have to determine whether to repair, replace, or relocate portions of the city sewer line – particularly the line that runs along the Boardman River.
A stretch of the sewer line just north of the alley off of East Front Street, is just downstream of where the city saw overflows just last summer. Three times in three months – heavy rains and flooding triggered the release of untreated sewage: in June, July, and August. The wastewater spilled into the Boardman and flowed to Grand Traverse Bay… and the county health department cited high water levels and aging infrastructure as reasons for the spills.

The TC DDA is selling Color for Hope posters.
The sale of each poster will go towards the Grand Traverse County Drug Free Coalition.
The posters were made by Susan Alexander, who lost her daughter to a drug overdose.
Her sister, Margaret Alexander has helped to get these posters to the public and coordinated with the DDA in order to sell them.
Margaret Alexander says, “We knew the posters needed a good place to be able to do something that was really needed in the community around education and prevention and treatment and addiction with substance abuse disorder that we’ve had issues with in the past.”
