STERLING HEIGHTS A series of intersection monuments along Van Dyke Avenue in Sterling Heights will soon be presenting a message beyond which mile road drivers are near the city’s vision of its identity.
In May, workers began installing new fabric on the city’s four mile marker monuments, which stand by Van Dyke’s intersections with 15 Mile Road, Metropolitan Parkway, and 17 Mile and 18 Mile roads.
The 40-foot-tall aluminum and fabric monuments initially went up after a Van Dyke reconstruction project took place in 2015-16. City officials say the landmarks contribute to the city’s goal of adding attractive focal points to promote placemaking and uniqueness.

Morrell Group
Morrell Group s The Motioneer mascot and the company s updated workspace to attract new engineering talent.
Potential jobs candidates are met by a 7-foot robot of embossed steel, aluminum and plastic upon entering industrial automation and light assembly firm Morrell Group. A soldier, of sorts, reminiscent of the red-armored Master Chief from the popular Xbox video game Halo. But instead of battling for the survival of human civilization in interstellar warfare, Morrell s mascot The Motioneer is battling for talent.
Morrell invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into its robot mascot and remodeling its Auburn Hills headquarters to a more modern, open concept, collaborative environment all in a bid to be more appetizing to potential employees. The firm trademarked the term Motioneer and is calling its new hires Motioneers.
