HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Those who have lived along and visited Lake St. Clair’s coast are familiar with the name Gino’s Surf. Perhaps they visited the original Lakeview Inn after a long day on the water, or maybe they were regular guests at the post-1971 restaurant and event hall. “It’s always been a cool place,” Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest said. “It’s a beautiful location. I’ve attended a number of weddings and events there, and in later See GINO’S SURF on page 9A

First high-occupancy lanes in Michigan implemented part time on I-75 BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com
OAKLAND COUNTY — Michigan will see its first high-occupancy lanes implemented this November on Interstate 75 between 12 Mile Road and South Boulevard … at least some of the time. More commonly referred to as carpool lanes, high-occupancy lanes are only usable by vehicles with at least two human occupants. The lane was planned in tandem with the overhaul of I-75 that began taking place in 2016 by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
“The lanes were built into the project over the last six years. … The idea to make a capacity improvement for that portion of I-75 was decided when we were working with federal partners and we conducted several public meetings with stakeholders,” explained MDOT spokesperson Rob Morosi. “The feds wanted us to do something different with regard to capacity improvement to improve safety and travel time reliability. This was decided before construction to make that fourth lane on that stretch a high-occupancy lane.” However, the lane on that portion of the expressway will only function as a high-
occupancy lane during rush hour. “They are implementing it right now,” said Morosi. “The signs have been fabricated and are being put up. Of the 18 miles we’ve rebuilt since 2016, the additional lane between Eight Mile Road and 12 Mile Road is a general use lane, which has no restrictions on number of occupants or time, so a solo driver can use it 24/7. The left lane between 12 Mile and South Boulevard will be a highoccupancy lane between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., and 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.” Morosi added that research indicates the lane should reduce traffic and accident rates.
MUSIC PRODUCER MAKES SOUND DECISIONS AS AN ARTIST BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Even as a child, Jared Lee Gosselin had an ear for music. He can still remember his first records — Run-DMC’s “Raising Hell” and Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.” He’s gone from listening to music legends to working with them. Gosselin, who grew up in Detroit and Grosse Pointe Park, is now a Grammy Awardwinning producer who has worked with artists such as Macy Gray, Corinne Bailey Rae, India.Arie, Kane Brown, Swae Lee and Neon Trees, to name just a few. After 20 years of living and working in Los Angeles, Gosselin is back in metro Detroit, living in Grosse FAR RIGHT: Jared Lee Gosselin works with Nick Small on a new song at Plymouth Rock Studio.

Pointe Farms not far from the home of his younger sister, Ariel Gosselin, and his mom, who lives in Grosse Pointe Park. He came home to start a record label, create a musical collective and nurture new talent. “I just like to be inspired by things, and I like to create,” said Gosselin, 42. “If I’m inspired by things, I’m happy.” At age 5, Gosselin made his first attempt at spinning vinyl on his mother’s record player. His parents weren’t musical — his dad worked in quality control for the auto industry and his mom was a hair stylist — but a great-uncle was said to be a famous banjo player, according to a family historian. Gosselin set off on a different musical path. “When I was little, I wanted to be like Jam MasSee GOSSELIN on page 13A
“It also should improve capacity, which will reduce traffic and travel times,” said Morosi. “During the study phase, we did extensive crash history studies, and the majority of the incidents on this stretch in terms of crashes occurred during dry conditions, and the majority were rear-end collisions, which indicated a capacity problem. In other words, we had too much traffic for only three lanes in each direction. When we looked at other ways to improve safety, the HOV lane we saw in other states, an HOV lane encouraged carpooling during high travel times, which improves capacity issues See I-75 on page 18A

Whitmer’s population group eyes tax hikes for residents GOVERNOR’S APPOINTED POPULATION GROWTH COUNCIL CONSIDERS TAX INCREASE PLANS FOR SCHOOLS, ROADS, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS then have to work with the Legislature to enact any recommendations. Other potential tax changes eyed by the group include: A potential change in property taxes for local governments, which have long complained their financial recovery from the Great Recession was slowed by the voter-approved Headlee Amendment of 1978, which caps annual growth in taxable value at the rate of inflation of 5%. Another work group is recommending the council figure out a way to “raise addi-
tional annual funding to maintain our current system of roads” and decrease the state’s reliance on fuel taxes, which are projected to decline as consumers purchase more electric vehicles. It suggests a phased-in plan. A Jobs, Talent and People work group is suggesting a series of targeted tax credits to address workforce shortages and attract new hires to the state. Increasing the state’s child tax credit to better support low-income families and suggests a new credit for small businesses that offer paid parental leave.

LANSING — Members of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s population growth council may recommend plans that include tax increases to fund schools, roads and local governments, according to newly public reports. The reports were shielded from public view earlier this month when work groups reported vague recommendations to the Growing Michigan Together Council, a bipartisan panel appointed by Whitmer in a bid to find ways to boost the state’s stagnant population. The council published the work group reports online after Bridge Michigan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the documents. One report shows a PreK-12 Policy work group is recommending the council study how much funding schools need, “including potential revenue generation realized by modifying current taxation and budgeting practices.” Another work group is recommending a change in property tax law that would allow local governments to raise rates more quickly as property values increase, while others raise the possibility of “broaden(ed) funding sources” for roads. The report does not mention any specific tax increases, but proposals are causing dissent among some members of Whitmer’s group, which is charged with providing her with recommendations by Dec. 1. Republican education work group member Patrick Anderson objected to the recommendation on school taxes, suggesting it could require a major overhaul of the state’s funding formula that relies on constitutionally dedicated sales and property taxes. “These would be radical changes involving the income tax, sales tax, property tax, local school operating and debt millages as well as the per-pupil guarantee and the dedication of the School Aid fund in the Constitution to both secondary and higher education,” Anderson told colleagues in an Oct. 7 email dissent shared with Bridge. “There is indeed a need to improve school governance and finance. However, I and multiple other members of the group feel that changes in revenue must follow, not precede, improvements in accountability and performance,” he added. Anderson had asked work group chairs
Karen McPhee and Chandra Madafferi, who is president of the Michigan Education Association union, to include his written dissent in the PreK-12 recommendation report. They declined to do so, telling him that “would have required us to offer an opportunity for every work group member to write dissenting viewpoints, and that was not in our charge.” McPhee, in an email provided by Anderson, said the work group is not specifically recommending policymakers propose changes to the Michigan Constitution to fund schools, which would be required to raise or otherwise change the state’s 6% sales tax. But the work group recommendations, “leave the possibility” of a constitutional amendment “on the table and suggest teams of experts be charged with considering everything necessary to build, govern and fund a newly designed high-performing system of public schools,” McPhee wrote. The work group reports are not final recommendations but will inform further work by the full council. The group is charged with providing “short-term, medium-term, and long-term policies” proposals to Whitmer, who would

L’Anse Creuse North junior defender Gregory Houston attempts to bring down L’Anse Creuse junior running back Donovan Rey.
L’Anse Creuse extends rivalry streak with 28-7 win over North BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — For the fourth-straight season, L’Anse Creuse football holds the upper hand over Macomb L’Anse Creuse North. On Oct. 20 at L’Anse Creuse North High School, L’Anse Creuse (4-6) jumped out to a 21-0 lead at halftime en route to a 28-7 win over North (2-7) behind the Lancers’ dominant rushing attack. Both teams had been playing under expectations this season, but the rivalry matchup always brings out each side’s best. “It’s intense,” L’Anse Creuse junior running back Donovan Rey said. “Things can get a little heated at times, but it’s all around pretty standard rivalry stuff.” L’Anse Creuse senior Quincy Dorsey tallied the first Lancers’ touchdown while junior quarterback Jordan Scalici tacked on a 35-yard touchdown run and Rey added a 60-yard score on the ground. Rey tallied two rushing touchdowns in the win. Rey has anchored the Lancers’ offense all season, and he showed again why he’s one

of the most effective running backs in the Macomb Area Conference. “He’s big, he’s fast, he’s strong and he’s physical,” L’Anse Creuse coach Vincent Phillips said. “If you talk to any running backs coach, he can do it all.” Senior quarterback Tommy Ches scored North’s lone touchdown on a scramble. The win punched L’Anse Creuse’s playoff ticket for the fifth-straight season, but the season didn’t have a postseason look to it early on. Holding a 2-5 record after a 53-0 loss to Roseville, L’Anse Creuse earned back-toback wins over Warren Cousino and L’Anse Creuse North to put the season back on track. “I feel we have really found ourselves as a team and when we play as one, these are the results you will truly get from LC,” Rey said. “Also, the coaches have really stepped up, from play calling to discipline for the players.” L’Anse Creuse fell 0-24 to Macomb Area White champions Grosse Pointe South in a district playoff matchup Oct. 27 at Grosse Pointe South High School.

State launches new auction website for surplus sales
STATEWIDE — The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget has launched a new online auction website for surplus sales, Michigan.gov/MiBid. The department said in a press release that the new MiBid site offers users an improved bidding experience, up-to-date security features, additional payer options, and enhanced bidder confidentiality. The site is integrated with the State of Michigan MiLogin portal, which provides a secure, single point of access to many state services. The MiBid auction site is open to everyone, including local governments. While auction items are publicly viewable online at Michigan.gov/MiBid, anyone wanting to place a bid will need to create a free MiLogin profile. Users who already have a MiLogin profile to access other state services are ready to go. DTMB’s state surplus team works with state agencies to sell state surplus property and confiscated property for the Department of Natural Resources, Michigan State Police and the federal Transportation Security Administration. Office furniture, vehicles, specialized equipment and electronic equipment are among the items available for bid. Bidders with questions can email DTMB-Surplus@Michigan.gov. Additional information about DTMB’s surplus program, including monthly in-person sales, can be found online at Michigan.gov/Surplus.

ROADS DEPARTMENT ASKS RESIDENTS TO SHAKE MAILBOXES
MACOMB COUNTY — The Macomb County Department of Roads is asking residents to make sure their mailboxes are winter-ready by shaking them down in the fall. The location, stability and durability of a mailbox matters when plow trucks shower it with snow this winter. Making sure your mailbox is in solid condition means it is more likely to withstand the cold months. If you have questions regarding mailbox maintenance, please call the Macomb County Department of Roads at (586) 463-8671 or email geninfo@ rcmcweb.org.
MACOMB COUNTY — On Oct. 5, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced an “aggressive yet compassionate” child support collection initiative for parents behind in their payments, allowing them to satisfy their financial obligation without legal consequences. Led by the Felony Non-Support Unit within the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, the child support collection program is an aggressive collection and enforcement initiative designed to give parents who are behind in their child support payments a fresh opportunity, while providing a realistic path to compliance for those who may have fallen behind due to financial hardships or other challenges, according to the prosecutor’s office in a written statement. “However, those who do not step forward to establish a

MACOMB COUNTY — From Monday, Oct. 30, to Friday, Nov. 3, the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office set out on an enforcement initiative aiming to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities on county roads and raise awareness about the safety of vulnerable road users. “Between 2018-2022 Macomb County had 60 Pedestrian deaths and was ranked No. 3 in State fatalities,” Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said in a press release. “It is not only important to enforce our pedestrian safety laws; we must also educate drivers and pedestrians about the laws.” During the weeklong enforcement period, officers focused on laws applying to pedestrian safety such as failing to yield for pedestrians in a crosswalk or failing to stop at a signal or sign before a crosswalk. Pedestrian-centered laws officers focused on include not using a sidewalk when available, not crossing streets at intersections and not walking facing traffic.
payment plan may face prosecution, and imprisonment for the felonious failure to pay their court ordered obligation,” the statement indicated. “We understand that life can be unpredictable, and circumstances change. Our primary goal is to ensure that children receive the financial support they need to thrive. At the same time, we recognize that some parents genuinely want to meet their responsibilities but may have fallen on hard times. This is a compassionate and pragmatic approach to addressing these issues,” Lucido said. To avoid potential prosecution and begin making back child support payments, contact the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office at (586) 493-4488 or email pafamilysupport@macombgov.org to make payment arrangements.

Gino’s Surf from page 1A
years the tiki bar was really certainly a popular spot on the right summer nights.” In recent years, however, the name Gino’s Surf has recalled countless posts on local Facebook pages looking at the Jefferson Avenue property for any sign of life. After seven long years of waiting, those looking for another drink and dish at Gino’s will get their wish. The new management of Gino’s Surf aims to open in March 2024. Leading the return of Gino’s Surf is Brian Jeffries, an eight-year resident of the township who first made his name spinning vinyl as DJ Godfather. Jeffries’ career steadily brought him up from DJ talent to promoter to venue operator. He is currently involved with several venues around Detroit including The Annex Detroit nightclub, Love & Tequila, 3Fifty Terrace and the Brass Rail pizza bar. “What I love about being in (Harrison Township) is that I love how there are a lot of different places that have their own identity,” Jeffries said. “I’m such a fan of a lot of restaurants in the area and I go to each restaurant for their own unique specialty, and
we’re going to have our own identity as well. I’m really excited to bring this concept and identity to the area because there is nothing like it.” In order to make Gino’s Surf a unique spot on Lake St. Clair, Jeffries is pulling from his nightclub experience to create what he calls an “elevated sports bar” concept. The redesigned interior includes 48 television screens. A DJ booth will be added — which Jefferies plans to perform at — along with light show equipment to facilitate nightlife activities on weekends. “It’s a whole completely different atmosphere,” Jeffries said. “Just the bells and whistles we’re putting in it … there’s not going to be anything like it on the lake. Coming from a nightclub background, I try to make my venues downtown have more production and more fun and wow factor than any of the other places downtown, and we’ve achieved that. So now my goal is to achieve a different, elevated experience on the lake that none of the other places offer.” One of the more traditional aspects Jeffries plans to include is 20-30 slips to accommodate boaters looking to dine ashore. The menu at the new Gino’s Surf will be overseen by executive chef Stewart Fox, owner of Detroit Catering Company and
formerly Sugarr Donuts, in Woodhaven. The banquet hall will also return, now operating under the name Vista Lago, which means “lake view” in Italian. “We wanted to give the banquet hall its own identity,” Jeffries said. “It’s going to be very upscale — very classy.” Jefferies initially got involved in the Gino’s Surf project around the time the new ownership group purchased the restaurant property about five years ago. Plans were made to open up around 2020, but COVID-19 work stoppages and the subsequent material shortages kept the restaurant closed for three more years. “When you do a project the size of Gino’s there’s always going to be speed bumps,” Jeffries said. “If someone told you, ‘I’m going to build this from A to Z and be done with it in 10 months,’ they’re lying to you. They just don’t know. There’s always going to be speed bumps, no matter what you do.” The long vacancy of the Gino’s Surf property created a number of issues with the building that had to be remedied before work could truly begin. “I saw comments from people (saying), ‘The new owners haven’t done anything with this spot,’ and they have no clue how just from a structure standpoint and things you
don’t see aesthetically, the things that we had to do just to get the place up to speed, just to remodel it,” Jeffries said. Jeffries aims to have construction wrapped up by the holiday season and for staff training to begin in early 2024. Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.

ter Jay — DJ and scratch records,” Gosselin said. As a youth, Gosselin played saxophone and guitar in church. He was also in bands in high school. A graduate of Grosse Pointe North High School’s Class of 1999, Gosselin was more focused on a career in the musical industry than the classroom. By 16, he was engineering in the studio and DJing shows. Enrolled part-time as a high school senior in the Recording Institute of Detroit, he met and started working with legendary Motown songwriters Barrett Strong (“Money [That’s What I Want]”) and Robert Bateman (“Please Mr. Postman”). Strong gave him the nickname “Magic Man” for his technical prowess. “You learn more from experience,” Gosselin said. “I’ve been blessed to learn from great people over the years.” He started working with some of Detroit’s most prominent hip-hop artists, including Proof, Obie Trice and D12, and operating his own recording studios. Ariel Gosselin said their dad built a recording studio for her brother in the basement of his home in New Baltimore. “This has always been his passion, and he’s really good at it,” Ariel Gosselin said. “I remember him being able to pick up any instrument and play it.” Ariel Gosselin, who’s more than five years younger than her brother, recalls being just a teenager when her big brother was getting her into shows that were typically only open to adults or those of legal drinking age. She wasn’t drinking — she was just there to dance and have fun — and she remembers the rappers being protective of her. “I was the younger sister, hanging out with these big rap stars,” Ariel Gosselin said. “I was like everybody’s little sister.” On a recent October afternoon, Gos-
selin was behind the controls at Plymouth Rock Recording Co. in Plymouth, working on a track with Nick Small, of Plymouth, the studio’s manager and a music producer who’s now recording his own material with the band Dusk Harmonic. “We’ve worked with a lot of engineers here, and very rarely have I met someone who’s that multitalented,” Small said. “It lends itself to creating something that’s fresh.” One of Gosselin’s greatest strengths is his ability to enhance a track without overwhelming it or rendering it cold. The humanity of the song and its emotional hook continues to shine through. “It’s all about making great art,” Gosselin said. “And knowing when to quit.” Small said Gosselin is able to bring the best out of an artist and a song. He also brings unique insight into the music because he’s written songs himself. “Not all audio mixing engineers are also producers,” Small said. “He understands music at a very fundamental level. That’s rare to find somebody who can make a song as well as mix a song.” Gosselin won his first Grammy Award in 2013 for the Beto Cuevas album, “Transformación.” He’s worked in a wide range of genres — including dance, R&B, rock and soul — and said he “never wanted to be pigeonholed.” “It’s been amazing,” Ariel Gosselin said of having her brother back in town. “I’m so proud of him. He’s like a Detroit legend. I’m so happy he’s back home.” Jared Gosselin and his wife, singer/ songwriter Rama Duke, have a 9-year-old daughter together; mom and daughter were in Greece at press time, where Duke was doing a musical. Ariel Gosselin has a son around the same age, and the cousins are looking forward to spending more time together. Her son is already a regular at his uncle’s house. “My son is obsessed with going to his house and dancing to his music,” Ariel Gosselin said.

SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN IN BUSINESS
14A/ NOVEMBER 8, 2023
JOURNAL
Number of women in business schools continues to climb BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Women are having an increased presence in the business world, according to recent statistics. Troy’s Walsh College calculates that women are more prevalent than men this semester, with over 53% of the student body being women. “We are seeing an increase of women in technology, and we want to encourage that,” said Suzy Siegle, the president of Walsh College. According to Siegle, the majority of female students are going into the fields of accounting, marketing and management. Oakland University said they are seeing an increase in women enrolling in the areas of accounting, human resource management and operations management. “I would say in the areas of marketing, definitely in management, in the MBA (Master of Business Administration) we are seeing a lot of women business folks who are interested in that,” Siegle said, “We have a great doctoral program in business administration program, and I’ve been impressed when we’ve had the doctoral residencies on our campus. … I’ve been impressed with the strong women leaders who have been enrolling in that program to take their careers to their next level. And a lot of them see opportunities in business coaching and consulting, really taking their careers advancing through that.” “When I was in business school back in the 1990s pursuing an MBA, fewer than 10% of my class were women,” said Toni M. Somers, the associate dean and a professor of management and information systems at the Wayne State University Mike Ilitch School of Business. “Today, in our business school, at least 50% are women. This parallels nationally the rise of women in executive positions and on boards of directors of both Michigan and U.S. corporations. While

traditionally there have been fewer women than men in analytics, finance and technology studies, presence is growing in these fields as well.” Jacqueline M. Stavros, a professor of the College of Business and IT at Lawrence Technological University, said the school can prepare women to pursue a wide range of career paths, such as accounting, finance, marketing, analytics, project management, general manager-types of positions, human resource positions, operations management, supply chain management, information technology, and even start a business. “I think we need to do more to recruit women into our programs,” said Stavros. Siegle said Walsh College does have a variety of ways in which it encourages women to go into the business industry. She said they have scholarship opportunities for women going into an emerging field, as well as opportunities through the school’s career services, such as “Lunch and Learn,” where female executives come and present to the students. “There’s been a lot of great examples in our career fairs where we’ve seen amazing fe-
male leaders present,” Siegle said. “So they’re seeing great women in leadership.” The school also offers flexible programs. Siegle said this enables women, as well as men, to balance school, work, family and other obligations. She said that studies have shown that, especially for women in the workforce who do balance many different obligations, that flexible scheduling is very important to them. She said that the school offers instruction in a variety of ways, including in person, online and a hybrid format. “That flexibility has been very important for our students so that they don’t have to compromise the quality they deserve for the flexibility they need,” said Siegle. Tiffany LeDonne-Smith, a graduate of Oakland University and an advisor for the OU business program, founded a mentoring program for women in business. She said she noticed when she started working at the university in 2017 that there were many female students in the business program, but no support services for them specifically. After getting some feedback, LeDonne-Smith was able to determine that the students “overwhelmingly” wanted and needed both a student organization for women in business and a mentoring program. In fall 2018, some students founded the
student organization Women in Business, which is now one of the largest and most active student organizations in business on the campus today, according to LeDonneSmith. It offers programming on topics such as women in leadership, women in various business fields, sexual harassment in the work place, etc., and brings in guest speakers and alumni. In January 2019 LeDonne-Smith launched the Women’s Leadership and Mentor Program, which pairs female undergraduate students with an alumna businesswoman to mentor them for a year. “That program has really been phenomenal, because each student who is in the program is connected with someone who obviously works in the profession. … That’s been really great for our students,” said LeDonne-Smith. “The program has just been great for students to have a professional connection, because they might not have someone in their personal life who works in that industry and I also think it’s just beneficial to have … women helping women through navigating that college to career transition.” Siegle said Walsh College has a proud history of educating women and in shaping the college in the institution it is today. She boasted that the school’s faculty and administrative staff is at least 50% women.
“I look at business as a way to have contribution and impact in the world, and I think that as business has grown and become more global and more technologically savvy it’s more accessible and inclusive,” said Siegle. “I’ve always seen women be very successful in business … but there’s such an incredible power that we have to make an impact in the world and to change and to be in contribution for that, and I think there’s a heart and soul for that. So, I think it’s a beautiful thing when you see a woman saying, ‘Well, I stepped in to fill a need in business.’ … So I think there’s problems that we see in the world that we want to help solve that maybe our unique and inclusive perspective can bring.” She said women can add a “rich” dimension to leadership roles. Women can make contributions, lead teams and making an impact in a way that brings great empathy, generosity and understanding, Siegle said. According to Siegle, companies that have more diversity in their staffing compete better in the global business place. Siegle said they are striving to get more women to take positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, and Walsh is seeing an uptick in the number of women in STEM as they are growing See WOMEN on page 17A

their programs in cybersecurity and machine learning. Siegle said they are also looking to increase the number of women in entrepreneurship. Women contribute substantially to entrepreneurship in the United States, according to the National Women’s Business Council. According to the council’s 2022 annual report, the number of women-owned businesses increased significantly in recent years. In 2019 there were 5.7 million employer businesses where women accounted for 1.2 million or 20.9% of those businesses, according to the NWBC report. “You pick up Entrepreneur Magazine and you see Sarah Blakely, and you see other celebrities who have started companies, and you think, ‘Wow, that’s so cool to see that they saw a need in the world that wasn’t be-
ing field and they brought a unique perspective,’” said Siegle. Walsh College is also looking at partnering with companies that have grant opportunities for minority- or women-owned businesses. Siegle said that she recently gave a presentation to the society of human resources professionals and noted that there were more women than men there. She said it was probably about 70% women. “There’s a creativity and an innovation that women have because of the experiences they’ve had that anybody from a different population would bring. So it’s really nice to see women saying, ‘Hey, maybe there’s a better way to try this,’ or ‘Have you thought about it from this angle?’ and that brings such rich diversity of creativity, and I also think with jobs being so accessible to commuting and to hybrid work it’s probably opened up a lot of things that may have been limitations before,” said Siegle.

and cars driving too close to each other.” Motorcycles, transit buses, first responders and emergency vehicles are exempt from occupant requirements. Lt. Mike Shaw, the public information officer for the Michigan State Police, wants drivers to know that this shouldn’t adversely affect anyone’s commute, and he thinks drivers simply need to be aware of the new rules. “People can be stopped as of this week,” he said Oct. 27. “We will be patrolling as we always do. … We’ve never had a highoccupancy lane, so if we have one, it’s obviously going to mean at least somewhat of an uptick in violations. … Just pay attention and mind the signs and other notifications.” That portion of I-75 is patrolled both by the Michigan State Police and some of the municipalities it runs through. Sgt. Ben Hancock of the Troy Police Department said in an email that “during peak hours of 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m., only vehicles with two or more occupants can use the lane. In addition, motorcycles, buses and emergency response vehicles can use the lane at any time. During off-peak hours the high occupancy lane is treated as any other lane on the freeway. … A high-occupancy-lane violation is a civil infraction with a fine of $135 (2 points) and $195 (2 points) for a commercial motor vehicle.”
The implementation of the high-occupancy-lane was always intended to begin following the completion of the I-75 rehabilitation project. “The whole I-75 reconstruction project was about $1 billion, and these (highoccupancy lane) costs were part of that project,” said Morosi. “It rebuilt over 18 miles of freeway, replaced 47 bridges, modernized interchanges at Big Beaver, 14 Mile Road, 12 Mile Road, and constructed a new braid ramp with I-696, and built a 4-mile-long drainage tunnel.” He added that some other portions of the refurbishment project were put in place to complement the high-occupancy lanes. “We rehabilitated a carpool lot at the Adams Road exit route near the top of the changed portion of I-75. There are two new lots at 12 Mile Road, near the I-75 interchange there,” said Morosi. Morosi said drivers simply need to become acquainted with the new rules and that the rules are clearly marked for people to see prior to entering each end of the designated area. “Some people are confused because of the high-occupancy lanes having designated times,” he said. “The two or more occupants have to be human occupants, so no pets or cardboard cutouts. Besides the designated hours around rush hours during the week, that lane can be used by solo drivers without the risk of citation. Close to 70% of the time it is still usable as a solo-use lane. … They

will be marked with diamonds on the lanes and some signage on the side of the road. That’s the national signage to mark such lanes.” Morosi admitted that there has been some skepticism about the high-occupancy lanes being used in Michigan, but he believes that drivers will come to appreciate

them after they see the benefits. “Anything that’s new will come with some trepidation and skepticism,” he said. “We acknowledge that. That was the case when we built the flex route on M-23, near Ann Arbor, and complaints there have faded. Given time, these new methods generally work very, very well and improve safety.”
