Saline District Library will host a presentation on traffic roundabouts on Wednesday, August 3, from 7-8 pm. Learn how to use roundabouts and the safety benefits they provide with Chris Wall, a senior civil engineer with FTC&H, and Mark McCulloch, Washtenaw County Road Commission project engineer. Traffic roundabouts are becoming more common in Washtenaw County. There are currently 15 roundabouts, and 5 planned for construction, including one at Ann Arbor-Saline Road and Textile Road. Learn all about roundabouts and get your questions answered. The Library is located at 555 N. Maple Road and the phone number is 734-429-5450.
Sunny, with a high of 48 and low of 29 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
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.
