Good morning, Ypsilanti.

The City of Ypsilanti will host three community engagement events in the Water Street redevelopment area—focusing on the history of the site, brownfield redevelopment, and future planning—with events set for April 16th at SPARK East Innovation Center, April 23rd at the same venue, and May 1st at the Freight House. The panels will feature local experts and invite the public to learn about the past and share ideas for Water Street’s next steps.

Today MDOT announced that one lane on westbound I-94 from U.S. 23 to State Street will be closed for maintenance until March 23 and that the Pontiac Trail bridge closed March 15 will reopen in June—officials added that additional lane restrictions on several county roads might affect commutes this week and in the coming months.
