St. Joe Highway Road Closure & Carrier Creek Interceptor Improvement Project Update

The main components of the Carrier Creek project are closer to completion. The pipework will be complete with one to two more days of work to finish all the appropriate tie-ins and bring the new sanitary sewer pipe into service. The contractor will continue site restoration and clean-up through next week. Clean-up on St. Joe Highway is underway to reinstall guard rails and to make the remaining improvements to the roadway that are needed after all the construction for reopening in the near future. 

We will have another update after Thanksgiving.

Snow Removal Reminder

Sidewalks

With Snow just around the corner, Delta Township property owners are reminded that they need to make arrangements to clear the snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property.  Section 34-92  of the Delta Township Code of Ordinances requires that snow and ice be removed from the sidewalk within 24 hours of a snowfall. The code applies even if the property is vacant or the building on the premises is unoccupied.

New retailer Best Discount Furniture opened on Monday, November 20, 2023, in the former Macy’s space at the Lansing Mall. The store is doing a soft opening for now and planning a larger grand opening in January 2024.

The “fresh” sign is up on the westernmost façade of Meijer, which means that the $13M renovation project is getting closer to completion. Store officials are hoping to have the west store entrance functional in early December. The 222,000-square-foot Meijer store has been on Saginaw Highway in Delta Township since 1966.

The Tin Can West bar is now open in its new space at 8741 W. Saginaw Hwy, Ste. F, in the Broadbent Crossings shopping center (former Music Instrument Swap space, which moved to a storefront at the rear of the building).

A special land use permit application was submitted to construct a Sunoco/Dunkin Donuts/Tailgaters gas station/convenience store with a drive-through on the west side of Creyts Road, north of Lansing Road, across from the MDOT facility. A public hearing with the Planning Commission is scheduled for Monday, November 27, 2023.
