Transportation becomes topic of discussion at Howell council meeting Transportation becomes topic of discussion at Howell council meeting HOWELL – Municipal officials spoke about mass transit in Howell during a recent discussion regarding transportation and circulation throughout the municipality. During the Feb. 9 meeting of the Township Council, a resident sent officials an email asking about Howell’s master plan, which is the document that establishes guidelines for the growth and development of a municipality. The resident’s question led to a discussion about reviewing traffic studies and circulation plans. Councilman John Bonevich called it “common sense” that Howell’s roads would not be reclassified to a lower level after 25 years. He said roads like Route 33 and Route 34 have seen an increase of thousands of cars a day over a period of decades.
