As Local Leaders Eye Housing Solutions, Garfield Township Resists Goodwill Inn Expansion

A committee of local leaders is working to put a new Housing and Homelessness Task Force plan into action. The new Oversight and Alignment team aims to develop an implementation plan by the year’s end. However, Garfield Township leaders are opposed to one key recommendation – creating a consolidated shelter campus, potentially at the Goodwill Inn property on Keystone Road – saying the township shoulders an “unfair” share of the region’s low-income and shelter housing.

Traverse City prepares for final market and Halloween walk Saturday

Downtown Traverse City is holding its final Farmers Market day of the season on Saturday, Oct. 31, alongside the annual downtown Halloween Walk. Front Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday to protect pedestrians during the trick-or-treating event. The seasonal transition comes as the Downtown Development Authority manages temporary locations for summer events while progressing on permanent downtown infrastructure projects. The market operated temporarily out of Rotary Square during the summer months while work proceeded on a new permanent facility. Harry Burkholder, executive director of the Downtown Development Authority, noted that Saturday’s final market runs from 7:30 a.m. to noon. The market operated temporarily at Rotary Square for the summer to maintain accessibility and parking while construction takes place on a permanent structure. Funding for the new facility includes tax increment financing. “The market is one of the oldest traditions we have in downtown Traverse City,” Burkholder said. “We’ve had a very successful summer. The weather has been super helpful. So today is our last market, our Wednesday market. And then Saturday, unfortunately, is our last market day of the year. 730 to noon.” “We are currently building the new Farmer’s Market pavilion

Sidewalk Closures Raise Access, Mobility Questions

Several thousand attendees are expected in downtown Traverse City Saturday for the annual Halloween Walk, where they’ll find smiling merchants handing out candy and creative costumes galore. They’ll also likely run into areas where city sidewalks are closed due to construction, which reroutes pedestrians abruptly – and for those with mobility and visual impairment issues, sometimes dangerously – away from clear pathways. The Ticker looks at how those sidewalk closures happen, how long they’ll last, and how enforcement could soon increase to better protect pedestrians.
