New safety path to connect Telegraph to Woodward on Quarton Road

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP/BIRMINGHAM

— A new safety path is slated to be constructed next year along Quarton Road, connecting Birmingham to Bloomfield Township.

TWO PARKS PREPARE FOR MAKEOVER

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM — Thanks to the funds from a $11.25 million parks and recreation bond over 70% of voters approved in 2020, the city of Birmingham has been able to focus on improving some of the community’s playgrounds. The city is currently in the process of developing plans for the playgrounds at Pumphouse Park and West Lincoln Well Park.

Officials in both municipalities have approved moving forward with the design of the path, which will be located on the south side of Quarton Road, from Cranbrook to Woodward.

Bloomfield Township will construct approximately 1,400 feet, from North Cranbrook to Chesterfield,

See PATH on page 21A

“We’re gathering feedback from the residents on what they would like to see there, and then we hope to present at the next parks and recreation board meeting a design based on a lot of that feedback and then move forward from there,” Scott Zielinski, director of public services, said. “The city tries in every way to communicate with our residents. We recognize that there’s not one best-practice way to communicate with residents.”

Throughout this phase of the project, the city has sought out community feedback in meetings, online surveys and the Department of Public Services open house.

“We’re just making all these different pushes to make sure we’re getting the public input as to what they want to see in those neighborhood parks and make sure we’re basically leaving no stone unturned when it comes to ensuring the amenities that we provide our citizens or what they want,” Zielinski said.

Pumphouse Park and West Lincoln Well Park currently have playground equipment from the 1990s. These

BOWERS ACADEMY TRANSITIONS TO NEW LOCATION

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — Bowers Academy in Bloomfield Hills, the district’s alternative educational program, will look different next year.

The district decided to move the academy from Bowers School Farm to the Model Building, on the Bloomfield Hills High School campus.

Bowers Academy originally opened at Bowers School Farm in 1998. The program averages 25-30 students annually..

Next school year, the academy will move to the new location and will be open to 10th-12th graders. The academy was previously only open to 11th and 12th graders.

A representative from the district broke the news to Bowers Academy students during the school day. This delivery of the news came hours before parents were emailed about this transition, according to Bowers Academy parent Michelle Gilbert.

“It was truly devastating,” Gabby Gilbert, a junior at Bowers Academy, said.

According to Michelle Gilbert, Gabby Gilbert’s mother, it was later revealed that the delay in communications with the parents was a glitch and that the intention was for an email to go out as the students were told the news.

“I wish they would have engaged us from the beginning, and I hope that they have learned from this experience and that, going forward, for future families, they will

Food pantries, lunch programs help fill summertime meal gaps

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — As the school year ends and the second year of the Michigan School Meals program nears completion, C & G Newspapers looked across metro Detroit to see what food programs are available to bridge the food insecurity gap during the summer.

The Michigan School Meals program provides free breakfasts and lunches to all students from pre-K to 12th grade during the school year, according to the Michigan Department of Education’s website. Without this program, what will students do for meals?

Among the programs that fill this void are the United Way for Southeastern Michigan’s Meet Up and Eat Up, several programs at Forgotten Harvest, and local food pantries, including one offered through Heritage Church, in Sterling Heights.

Meet Up and Eat Up

Meet Up and Eat Up is a food program offered throughout the state. It provides free meals for children 18 and younger or anyone with a disability 26 and under, according to Madelyne Wright, assistant director of nutrition services for the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency, which facilitates the program in Pontiac.

The program does not mandate enrollment, specific documentation, or eligibility requirements.

“This eliminates the burden of administrative paperwork,” said Wright.

The idea is to begin the Meet Up and Eat Up program as soon as the kids are out of school.

“So the kids don’t have any gaps in nutritional support,” Wright said.

This year, the Meet Up and Eat Up program through OLHSA is slated to begin June 16. Food trucks will visit apartment complexes, schools and day camps.

The need keeps growing in the community, according to Wright.

“We keep breaking records,” she said.

“Last summer, 2024, we served about 50,000 meals between mid-June until lateAugust. The summer before that (2023), we served 40,000 meals.”

“We get a massive turnout for food,” Wright added.

Meet Up and Eat Up works to meet the demands of the community.

“If we go to a mobile site and there are 100 people waiting for food and the vendor only made 50 meals, we’ll come back and serve the rest of the 50 people,” Wright said. “We always make sure to serve everyone.”

Meet Up and Eat Up programs are offered in other communities throughout

Resident-led Committee Aims to Save Birmingham’s Trees

In spite of all of the hustle and bustle and development, trees literally breathe life into our neighborhoods.

In Birmingham, where generations of city caretakers have sought to preserve the charm and character that make this little corner of Oakland County unique, the tree canopy is being greatly depleted, leaving what were once quaint, tree-lined streets bare or blighted in the shadow of the butchered remains of proud arboreal sentinels.

The Citizens Advisory Committee on Tree Preservation seeks to bring the voices of residents to the tree management conversation by facilitating direct citizen input that enhances transparency and ensures community interests are represented in the decisionmaking process.

“As residents, there’s got to be a way where we can work together,” said Joy Cantor, a resident and the committee’s communications liaison. “It’s very daunting to get a loud knock on your door at 8 o’clock in the morning, and there’s a lumberjack there saying, ‘We’re taking the tree out, now,’ and there’s never been a conversation about it.”

The effort calls on the Birmingham City Commission to create a committee of three independent representatives with related expertise and experience, plus two at-large residents with an interest in street aesthetics. The committee would meet regularly, consult with neighbors and provide feedback and recommendations to city offcials.

A petition effort has been launched, and business support is being sought. Of course, residential support is crucial.

To get involved in the effort or for more information, email Joy Cantor at joycantor@me.com. Inquiries can also be directed to Rod Lockwood by email at rodlockwood1@yahoo.com.

Forgotten Harvest

In 2024, Forgotten Harvest fed 474,637 children, according to Christopher Ivey, marketing and communications director for the nonprofit. As of mid-May, it had fed 358,682 children so far in 2025.

If the trajectory continues, this year’s numbers will surpass last year’s numbers.

The need is increasing, according to Ivey.

“All of the food we rescue is distributed free of charge without any real questions asked,” Ivey said.

They only ask generic questions for the purpose of analytics to determine the organization’s impact on the community, according to Ivey. Those questions include where the persons served live, where they are coming from and the makeup of their household — children, adults and seniors.

The summer programs include a youth

snack program distributed through the Detroit Public Library. There are 12-15 summer pantries that still run throughout the schools and mobile distribution.

“So if the family is in need of food, they can still go back to a location that is familiar to them,” Ivey said.

With 40 pantry partners, Forgotten Harvest runs a subsidized summer lunch program in addition to the Forgotten Harvest Summer Lunch Program where they will do about 100,000 lunches communitywide, according to Ivey. In addition, they are the lunch partners to Metro Youth Day on Belle Isle July 9 where they will do an additional 3,000 lunches.

Heritage Church pantry volunteers bag groceries making sure if they have the items and if the guests request it, it goes in the bag.

The lunch programs start June 23 and go through Aug. 29.

Last year there were 29 sites where Forgotten Harvest distributed food throughout Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

“We’re working to expand that list,” Ivey said. “Or at least working to confirm we have that many pantry partners again.”

Forgotten Harvest has a mobility market, which is a food pantry on wheels. It goes to various neighborhoods throughout Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties. There is also a truck on their Oak Park Forgotten Harvest campus. Guests are allowed to go in and select what they want.

According to their website, the mobility

markets are open Monday through Saturday except for holiday weekends.

For more information about their programs and a schedule of their mobility market, go to forgottenharvest.org/find-food/

Heritage Church

While most food pantries are not open on the weekend, the Heritage Church food pantry is only open on Saturdays.

Drivers pull up and are given a shopping list, where they check off items they want. Volunteers bag the groceries and deliver the groceries to the car.

Although anyone in need can come and get food assistance, they have a program for parents with special needs children.

“Because the child is challenged, they (their parents) are pulled out of their work and they can’t make ends meet,” said Candi James, the pantry manager. “We don’t know who they are, but we have it set up. We will bless them with whatever we have.”

Heritage Church is located at 44625 Schoenherr in Sterling Heights. The pantry is open Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

The program started more than a decade ago and has grown as the needs of the community have grown.

Coalition Marks 30 Years Of Putting Youth Prevention First

For three decades, the Birmingham Bloomfeld Community Coalition has remained steadfast in its mission to prevent youth substance use — adapting and evolving to meet new challenges with compassion, creativity, and courage.

It all started in the mid-1990s, when a group of parents channeled their concerns about substance abuse over spring break into proactive conversations and dialogue about teen drug and alcohol use.

In recent years, BBCC has deepened its focus beyond alcohol and other drug prevention to include the mental health and emotional well-being of our youth. This shift — sparked by the voices of our Youth Action Board YAB teens as early as 2012 — has shaped a more holistic approach. BBCC now emphasizes stress, anxiety and coping strategies alongside research-backed substance use prevention, ensuring our programs stay relevant to today’s young people.

At its core, BBCC works to address the root causes of substance misuse, mental health challenges, and other critical issues impacting young people and families in the Birmingham and Bloomfeld Hills areas. By staying ahead of trends and listening to our community, we remain

responsive and efective.

Years before national trends caught on, BBCC was already talking to teens and the community about the risks of vaping and marijuana. Today, those concerns are more urgent than ever. Vaping is not a safe stress reliever — it can cause irreversible lung damage and lead to serious health outcomes like EVALI. Meanwhile, teens who vape THC face a signifcantly higher risk of developing psychosis. And now, energy drinks are emerging as a new health concern among youth.

At the heart of BBCC’s work are safe, guided, and consistent spaces for youth leadership and connection. The YAB gives high school students a place to be heard, be seen, and belong. Our Mid Action Board welcomes 8th graders into this circle of youth-driven prevention early, supporting them during a critical transition period as they prepare for high school.

We stay grounded in local data and real conversations. Our youth surveys adapt regularly to refect what’s happening in our schools and homes — tracking substance trends, policy changes, and mental health challenges. Through this, BBCC ensures its programs are shaped with youth, not just for them.

Key takeaway for parents in 2025

Many parents underestimate how widespread and dangerous youth substance use is — or believe that allowing drinking at home is a safe workaround. They may not realize teens are often using multiple substances at once, especially during transitional times like graduation or preparing for college. At the same time, many parents feel unprepared to address substance use alongside their kids’ increasing stress, anxiety and mental health challenges.

How you can support BBCC Help us continue this life-changing work by attending events, becoming a community partner, or making a taxdeductible donation. Together, we can help youth rise above life challenges and save lives. Learn more at www. bbcoalition.org

BBCC was the recipient of the 2024 Coalition of the Year Award from Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities and our Oakland County prevention coalition peers.

Library hosts evening of international music

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

FRANKLIN — The Franklin Public Library, 32455 Franklin Road, will host an event titled “Discover International String Music” at 6 p.m. May 29.

Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy music from different countries — music they might not have heard before — and to learn about string instruments.

A few years ago, the library started holding concerts that were designed to provide experiences both entertaining and informative.

Rather than the traditional community concert format, Library Assistant Florence Rouquet said, “I wanted to do something slightly different and more educational.”

For the program, called “Discover International String Music,” Sean Blackman will be the featured musician. Blackman is a musician from Clawson.

A passion for international music

The music played at the library event will be sourced

from all over the world — something that Blackman is passionate about and has decades of experience in.

He described this passion for international music to be a part of his genetic makeup.

“It’s, like, in my DNA or something,” he said. Blackman said he was exposed to a diverse range of music from a very young age due to being “raised by a very culturally diverse mother.”

He said he was always “insatiable for anything I hadn’t heard yet, and at age 55 it’s still going. I’m still seeking new music and new styles. Like, I’m just hungry.

At the event, Blackman said, he will be playing music from at least five countries, specifically citing Ethiopia, Armenia and Spain.

“Discover International String Music” is open to the public.

“Hopefully, the weather will allow it, but when we have the concerts in the reading garden, it’s really the best,” Rouquet said.

If necessary, the event will be held inside the library.

Bowers Academy

get back to the transparency and engagement that this district has been so good at in the past,” Michelle Gilbert said.

“Bloomfield Hills Schools is committed to clear, timely and supportive communication. We recognize that at the outset of this transition, our communication to students and families did not fully meet that standard. We’ve taken that feedback seriously and are using it as a learning opportunity to strengthen how we engage with our school community moving forward,” Karen Huyghe Bloomfield Hills Schools director of communications, said in an email. “Since that time, we’ve prioritized consistent outreach and support for students, families, and staff. This has included one-on-one conversations, transition planning meetings, and academic counseling to ensure a thoughtful and student-centered move. As the transition continues, we remain focused on supporting everyone.”

Michelle Gilbert said she recently met with the superintendent. “We had what I would consider to be a very compassionate conversation.”

Huyghe said that as part of the alternative education transition, they designed flexible scheduling to allow alternative education students to continue engaging with the farm.

“It’s important to note that access to the farm is not ending — students across the district will continue to benefit from this unique resource. We are committed to preserving this experience as a vital part of our educational ecosystem,” Huyghe said in an email.

The Bowers Academy experience

Gabby Gilbert began attending Bowers Academy in January.

“I’d say one of the biggest reasons I moved is probably for my mental health,” she said.

Michelle Gilbert said that, “even though it appeared she was thriving gradewise, inside, she was really struggling, and she wanted a smaller environment. She felt like she wanted to be a part of a community, and she didn’t feel she was getting that at the larger high school.”

Michelle Gilbert said that when her daughter first approached her and her husband about going to Bowers Academy, they did not have a full understanding of the impact that the farm could make on their daughter’s education and well-being. Since their daughter has been at Bowers Academy, Michelle Gilbert said, they have witnessed

growth that they did not see at the main high school.

“I enjoy working with animals, but I truly didn’t know how much I would love it on the farm. It’s a place where you don’t even have to interact with the animals, but being able to sit in the classroom and look out and see this beautiful 90-acre farm, mid-class on a sunny day, is the most reviving and refreshing thing to see,” Gabby Gilbert said.

After finding out the news about the move from the farm, Gabby Gilbert and her peers gathered 1,000 signatures in a week on a petition titled “Let Students Stay At Bowers Farm For Our Senior Year.”

The decision

On the decision-making process, Michelle Gilbert said, “We were really disappointed that they made all these decisions behind closed doors without engaging the people who it directly impacted.”

When asked about the process that led to the decision to move Bowers Academy, Huyghe said in an email that it was part of a continuous evaluation process.

“The decision to transition our alternative education program to the Model Building, located on the Bloomfield Hills High School campus, was the result of a thoughtful and student-centered planning process.”

According to the emailed statement from Huyghe “a leadership transition within the Bowers Academy program presented a natural opportunity for the district to take a deeper look at how we serve students who thrive in an alternative education setting. Over the course of several months, collaborative discussions were centered on how the District could best support student success, enhance access to resources, and sustain the program for the future.”

Huyghe added, “Ultimately, relocating the alternative education program allowed the District to provide students with broader academic and extracurricular opportunities, increased support services, and continued personalized instruction — all while remaining true to the values of alternative education.”

When asked about how this decision would change the school’s finances, Huyghe responded in an email statement: “While the move may offer some operational efficiencies, such as shared support services, this decision was not driven by finances. It was based on what is best for students. Our priority is enhancing educational opportunities and support systems while maintaining the core values of the alternative education program with the goal of increasing student access to resources and improving student outcomes.”

RETRO RIDES REV UP LOCAL CAR SHOWS

FUN TIME CRUZERS FIND NEW LOCATION

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — “This is quite a group. I was here last week. There were 374 cars,” Shelby Township resident Tom Konicki said. “There are quality cars here. Cars that are so rare. Beautiful cars.”

Konicki was talking about the Fun Time Cruzers, back on the road for another season of hot rods, muscle cars and vintage vibes. For almost 20 years, the Cruzers met at Lakeside in Sterling Heights. When the mall closed last year, it put the brakes on their weekly car shows.

Start those engines because the group found a new home from 4 to 8 p.m. every Monday until September at NAPA Auto Parts, located on Van Dyke Avenue, north of 21 Mile Road, in Shelby Township. President Ken Savage said it took nine months to find a new location.

It all began in 2005 when Savage’s son worked at Lakeside Mall and a store owner wanted to start a weekly classic car show. He recruited Savage and his son to help, but after a year, he left the group. Savage kept the Cruzers’ motor running.

“When I began, there were just 50 cars. It started going more and more. I have 600 cruise emails now,” said Savage, a Shelby Township resident who owns a Grabber Blue 1970 Ford Mustang convertible.

Fun Time Cruzers posts musical photo slideshows available on YouTube. Every week, Savage — with help from other members including Jerry Benoit, of Chesterfield Township, and Dave Gmerek, of Clinton Township — holds an awards ceremony with local businesses as sponsors. Categories range from

watermark — a new standard for high-end, luxury, seamless living — we thought that the Birmingham market would be the one that would support it the best,” Nico Schultz, senior vice president at Soave Enterprises, said.

Birmingham Pointe is a total of 358,000 square feet, which includes 35,000 square feet of resident amenity space.

The city’s Triangle District was established in 2008 with the vision of being a walkable neighborhood to encourage a boost in social and economic vitality.

“The development, its style, the way it’s designed, and its internal and external features is basically exactly what we’ve been looking for 20 years,” City Planning Director Nicholas Dupuis said.

Gathering spaces

“We focused a lot on spaces and places to draw people out of their homes and into

gathering areas, and we’ve made them very spacious,” Schultz said.

The lobby is 3,000 square feet and houses the concierge desk, a cafe, a pool table, fireplaces and seating areas. It also has an 8,000-square-foot interior courtyard with a turf area, fire pits, seating and heaters.

Other gathering spaces include “The Roof,” with a pool, a spa, cabanas and lounge seating; and “The Club,” an indoor amenity zone with spaces for communal entertainment.

It also has a gym, a pet spa and an indoor play area for dogs.

Each apartment gets 8 gigabytes of data speed, providing residents with their own secured network, in addition to the building network available for use while roaming or in communal spaces.

An art consultant helped curate a collection of works, and there are several commissioned murals and other art pieces throughout the building.

She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

Fight

escalates after thrown croissant

BIRMINGHAM — On May 1 at approximately 6 a.m., officers were dispatched to a restaurant in the 100 block of North Old Woodward for a fight between two employees.

Both parties and witnesses reported

that a verbal argument escalated after a 57-year-old Sterling Heights man threw a croissant at a 41-year-old Detroit man, who then punched the Sterling man in the neck and pushed him to the ground, at which point employees separated the two. The suspect was arrested and charged with assault and battery.

Liquor stolen from gas station

BIRMINGHAM — On May 5 at approximately 1 a.m., officers were dispatched to a gas station for a report of retail fraud.

The reporting party stated that the suspect, an unknown male, had entered the gas station and asked about the lottery machine. While the staff were not looking, the suspect stole four bottles of liquor, valued at approximately $183. An investigation is ongoing.

Scammer poses as Xfinity representative

BIRMINGHAM — At approximately 10:30 p.m. on May 2, a 48-year-old resident

went to the Police Department to report that she had been scammed out of $975 in late April.

A caller purporting to be an Xfinity representative offered the woman a cheaper monthly rate if she sent him three Target gift cards valued at $325 each. She did so, but then realized it was likely a scam. An investigation is ongoing.

$7.5K missing from account after scam

BIRMINGHAM — Officers took a fraud report at 2 p.m. May 9. A 24-yearold West Bloomfield man told them that a few days earlier, he had received a call from a number that appeared on his caller ID as Chase Bank.

The unknown female suspect informed him that there had been an unauthorized transaction on his account and that his cards would be canceled and replaced with new ones. A few days later, the victim spoke with the suspect again, and she instructed him to open his banking app and authorize a pop-

up notification to activate his contactless card. After the call, the victim checked his bank app and discovered that approximately $7,500 had been withdrawn from his account. An investigation is ongoing.

The suspects — a 21-year old man, an 18-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man — were arraigned May 8 and charged with misdemeanor attempted mail theft. One suspect received a $15,000 personal bond, and the other two each received a $5,000, 10% bond.

The incident was reported to police via a 911 call at around 1 p.m. May 5.

The caller reported that a blue Chevrolet Malibu got stuck in a ditch near Quarton Road and Wing Lake Road and that the three individuals inside the car exited and were running away through neighborhood yards.

The caller informed patrol officers that he saw a man acting suspiciously near a group of mailboxes. The witness said he saw the man open a mailbox and remove a package. When the witness approached the suspect and asked what he was doing, a vehicle parked down the street began honking.

Officials say the suspect returned the package to the mailbox and walked back to the honking vehicle, later identified as the blue Chevrolet Malibu.

The witness said the Malibu then attempted to turn around in a neighbor’s driveway but drove into the ditch and became stuck. At that point, the driver and passengers all fled the vehicle on foot.

According to reports, all three individuals were located a short time later and were arrested. They are scheduled for pre-trail conferences June 2.

“Coolest Cruze 2025” to “Best Original/ Restored Cruzer” to “Best Corvette.” At the May 19 event, Madelyn Upleger won “Best Orphan Cruzers” for her 1999 Plymouth Prowler.

“That means they don’t make it anymore,” said Madelyn, who attended the weekly show with husband Dale Upleger.

Dale once owned the Prowler but gave it to Madelyn when he purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette C8.

“She loved it and she didn’t want to sell it,” Dale said. “OK, we’ll keep it.”

“I always wanted a Prowler,” Madelyn said. “We saw them at a car show, and I fell in love with it.”

Both cars garner a lot of attention when on the road.

“I think it’s because of the color,” Dale said. “It draws the eye to it.”

The Rochester Hills couple, who have three children and two grandchildren, have been married 64 years.

Raising Awareness

Today, his son Ryan carries on this mission. ough not a medical professional himself, Ryan’s dedication to his father’s legacy drives him to raising awareness of this service for families of Michigan. “Every week I learn of another person who felt perfectly ne, only to wake up with an unexplained symptom and discover they have stage four cancer. Once symptoms manifest cancer is usually advanced,” says his son Ryan. “My father never wanted another family to su er the emotional and physical hardships that our family and he endured.

Bionicc Body Screening o ers elective, full-body MRI screenings that provide a comprehensive picture of your internal health, going beyond what traditional checkups often reveal. State-of-the-art technology can detect tumors as small as a pea, aneurysms, risk of stroke and a multitude of other conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed. Screenings include scans of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, hips, shoulders and spine.

A Life Saved

Mark B. and his younger brother decided to visit Bionicc Body Screening last spring for a proactive screening because cancer ran in their family. Mark was skeptical until his results returned a 3-centimeter mass on his lung, which tested positive for cancer. He had three-fourths of his lung removed. He credits the scan for saving his life. Meanwhile, his brother’s results were clean.

Scans are safe, non-invasive, emit no radiation and are available without a doctor’s referral.

Parks

from page 1A

playgrounds are at the head of a series of playground improvements throughout the city over the course of four years.

Once these playgrounds are replaced, Poppleton Park will be next, followed by Pembroke Park. Other playgrounds that will eventually see improvements are Crestview, Kenning, Howarth, St. James and Linden parks.

Pumphouse Park

The city has a budget of $150,000 planned for the Pumphouse Park playground improvements.

Located adjacent to Birmingham County Club, Pumphouse Park is classified as a mini-park. It is a small park primarily used by the surrounding neighborhood.

West Lincoln Well Park

The bigger of the two, West Lincoln Well Park, is classified as a neighborhood park. A total of $200,000 is budgeted for the West Lincoln Well Park playground improvements.

Since it is more spacious, the West Lincoln Well Park playground will be a little larger than the playground at Pumphouse Park, with more equipment.

Looking ahead

There is not a set timeline for this project, but Laird said they hope to move quickly and have the purchase and installment completed this summer. Zielinski said there will be “distinctive age range play areas that will be available.”

He emphasized the importance of separating younger kids up to 5 years old from older kids.

“The city is really excited to be replacing some of this older equipment and servicing sections of the city that we haven’t had an opportunity to in recent years to provide them these nice upgrades.”

while Birmingham will be responsible for the pathway within its boundaries, from Pilgrim to Woodward.

The project, officials say, will provide a continuous safety path on the south side of Quarton Road from Telegraph Road to Woodward Avenue.

“The benefit in working with the city of Birmingham on this is their consulting engineers are HRC (Hubbell Roth and Clark) as well, so we can bid it as one project,” said Corey Almas, the director of engineering and environmental services for Bloomfield Township.

“It would be one construction project, but accommodating two cities,” he said.

Bloomfield Township’s portion of the project is estimated to cost $661,000, which includes contingencies, design, construction, engineering and a 5% inflationary factor. Birmingham will pay approximately $800,000 for its portion.

With a 6-0 vote, the Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees recently approved the route for the 2026 Jan Roncelli Safety Path program and authorized the engineering and environmental services department to pro-

“It certainly is something that’s very positive for bringing both Bloomfield Township and Birmingham together in this area, which is going to benefit both of us,” said Trustee Neil Barnett.

ISLAND TIME

BY GREG TASKER

MACKINAC ISLAND — Mackinac Island celebrates a big anniversary this year.

For a couple decades in the late 19th century, about half of the island was a national park, the country’s second, behind Yellowstone National Park.

Mackinac National Park was short-lived, a footnote in national park history. Still, the federal government’s efforts laid the foundation for what hundreds of thousands of tourists enjoy each summer — a well-preserved historic community and state park.

You can learn more about that past at Fort Mackinac this summer (more below), and also explore some of the island’s new additions.

Before you even depart Mackinaw City or St. Ignace, you’ll notice two ferry services are again running to and from the island — Arnold Transit Company and Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry. Visitors can also expect an uptick in the number of daily runs to the island as well as later departures back to the mainland.

Several hotels welcome the summer with renovations big and small. The Harbour View Inn boasts a renovated lobby, dining room and parlor. The Chippewa Hotel reopens with three remodeled rooms with new showers and fresh paint. And The Inn at Stonecliff welcomes a new chef, who is eager to bring fresh flavors and inspired dishes.

At the Grand Hotel, the expansive parlor famous for its red geranium and classic Grand Hotel green decor has been redesigned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Dorothy Draper & Company, the legendary designers responsible for a makeover in 1976. Guests should expect to see vibrant red geranium, alongside beloved colors and patterns that define the iconic space.

The iconic hotel also has expanded its island footprint with the new Grand Hotel Mackinac Market in downtown Mackinac Island. The Grand’s first retail location offers a curated selection of Grand Hotel and Mackinac Island merchandise, including apparel, bath and body products, and home decor. The shop also is the second location of the hotel’s Sadie’s Ice Cream Parlor.

On the other side of the island, the family-owned Mission Point Resort has continued to make improvements, this year offering a fresh take on dining at Chianti with a new Lilac Lounge, a reimagined marketplace and immersive experiences.

Chianti, Mission Point’s signature fine dining restaurant, has undergone a thoughtful transformation inspired by the colors and natural beauty of the island. The refreshed ambiance brings the island’s floral landscape indoors and creates a lighter atmosphere. The Lilac Lounge, billed as “a destination for foodies and wine lovers,” offers an aperitif hour where guests can sip on handcrafted cocktails, nibble on seasonal small plates, and listen to live piano music.

“We are always looking for ways to enhance our guest experience while staying true to the spirit of Mackinac,” said Liz Ware, vice president of sales and marketing at Mission Point.

These changes come on the heels of other recent upgrades including a revamped Main Lobby and Round Island Kitchen. The refreshed lobby, “Mackinac Island’s newest living room,” is a welcoming, open space with light colors and panoramic views through the restaurant of the expansive lawn and the Straits of Mackinac.

More than 80 percent of Mackinac Island is a state park, so it should come as no surprise that at least one company has begun offering curated hiking tours.

Great Turtle Kayak Tours, which has long offered water excursions around the island, has branched out to include land adventures. Guided tours include treks to Arch Rock and Sugar Loaf Rock and a focus on fall colors. Customized tours are available, revealing “hidden spots, unknown to most visitors,” according to the company.

“It’s kind of our goal to get people out of the Main Street area,” said Jon “Chappy” Chapman, lead reservation for the outfitter. “People don’t necessarily know their way around the island or know that there are 80 miles of trails. Once people find out, they like getting out there. They’re interested.”

At Fort Mackinac, the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the national park status will include daily and special programs tied to that brief chapter in the island’s history. At the time Mackinac became a national park in 1875, the federal government already owned 50 percent of the island and maintained Fort Mackinac. The aim was to protect Mackinac’s natural beauty and historical significance. For 15 years, Yellowstone and Mackinac were the only two national parks

in the country.

In 1895, deeming Fort Mackinac no longer necessary and shuttering military operations, the federal government had second thoughts about maintaining a national park there. State officials stepped in to reclaim the land and created Michigan’s first state park.

Creating the national park was a reaction to development pressures as tourism began to grow. By the 1870s, the island had become a retreat and getaway for city dwellers and others. By the last decades of the century, tourism had become the island’s dominant industry.

“We are thrilled to celebrate this anniversary,” said Dominick Miller, who is chief of marketing for Mackinac State Historic Parks. “We’re excited to get people out and into the former national park and explore the things that helped make Mackinac become a national park. We’re also thankful to the state of Michigan for realizing it was a special place.”

Daily programs share the story of Mackinac National Park. Those programs will focus on the rise of tourism on the island and how the island and fort have been preserved.

Special events will explore the creation of the park and all the questions it raised, as well as walking and bike tours focused on other aspects of that history. A guided walking tour, for example, will explore the cottages of Mackinac Island. Looking for money to fund park operations, the federal government granted leaseholds on the East and West Bluffs. The first summer cottages went up on the bluff in 1885.

In addition, the historic park will offer special screenings of an anniversary documentary, limited edition logo and merchandise, and new art exhibits.

“This is a really fascinating story,” Miller said. “It’s right here in our backyard.”
