18 people died on Michigan roadways since last week making a total of 150 this year. In addition, 72 more were seriously injured for a statewide total of 601 to date.
Compared to last year at this time there are 4 fewer fatalities and 27 fewer serious injuries.
Numbers are provided by the Michigan State Police.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 37 and low of 16 degrees. Sunny for the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon, overcast for the evening, clear overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
