-
2013 Funding Presentation
Funding Questions:
-
Has there been discussion on placing tolls on roadways? MDOT cannot place tolls on federally funded roads. If you create a new lane on a road without federal funds i.e. a high occupancy lane then you could charge a toll to drive on it.
-
Will MDOT work with the road commissions to make sure their funding needs are met? One of the options being explored is to open up Act 51 again. MDOT needs to address funding issues first before looking into distribution of funds.
-

Pedestrian Crashes on Corridor
In five years there have been 9 pedestrian fatalities on the corridor. Five of the nine fatalities involved alcohol. Only one crash took place at a signalized intersection (operating in night/flash mode). No crashes involved minors and no crashes involved confusion with pedestrian signals.
5. Open Discussion
-
There was group discussion regarding pedestrian crossings and getting information to the public on pressing the crosswalk button to add time to the crossing signal. Aaron commented there are informational videos available on YouTube that can be posted on your communities’ website to help educate the public on crosswalk signals. The new signals will have a pedestrian count down on the light which should help with the confusion on the crossing lights.
-
RSA for US-41& 2nd Street in Ishpeming has this been finalized? The RSA is completed; MDOT needs to schedule a meeting with the City of Ishpeming Manager and City Council to present the findings prior to announcing any project plans publically.
-
US-41 & Lakeshore Boulevard – see a lot of cars running the red light at this intersection will this be addressed with the new signal? The new signal will be actuated and will only cycle when traffic is present on Lakeshore Boulevard.
-
Grove Street & US-41 – is there potential to add indirect left turns at this location? There is space to add a Michigan left turn to the west of this intersection but to the east there is no room for a Michigan left to be constructed cars would need to utilize the roundabout to head westbound.
-
US-41 & Commerce Drive is there potential for a left turn phase at the signal? This intersection has some of the highest traffic volume in the UP, over 33,000 cars per day, and is one of the safest intersections MDOT has. The existing intersection was not constructed with radiuses that would allow for turning movements. Adding a turn phase would create additional points of conflict and actually make the intersection more unsafe.
Next Meeting – Tuesday, April 9, 2013 – 9:00 am Ishpeming TSC
Submitted by,
Aaron Johnson
MDOT- Ishpeming TSC
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) • Michigan State Police • Marquette County Road Commission • Marquette County Planning Commission • Ely Township • Ishpeming Township • City of Ishpeming • City of Negaunee • Negaunee Township • Marquette Township • City of Marquette • Chocolay Township • Lake Superior Community Partnership • Central Upper Peninsula Planning and Development (CUPPAD)
MDOT contractors will conduct repairs this summer on the west bound lanes of US Hwy 41 starting in June.
They will start near the Carp River in southern City of Marquette and progress into Marquette Township about July 8th, terminating at the Target/WalMart intersection. The work being done will consist of concrete joint repair, not surface repair, and will require lane closures causing traffic slowdown – one lane will always remain open.
Consider using other east/west options: Brookton Road (south side), Wright Street or Werner (north side), to help lighten the vehicle load.
Thanks!

Marquette, Michigan – February 14, 2013 – The Safety Store has joined the newest Veridea Group complex on Wright Street in Marquette Township.
Store Owner, Mr. David Alley moved his store to Marquette Township last April and is already working hard to keep the area supplied with any safety supplies and equipment needed.
The Marquette Township Business Association welcomes The Safety Store!
 Store owner David Alley, pictured above, received his “First Dollar” from Marquette Township Business Association Chairman, Frank Stabile.
Marquette, Michigan – February 14, 2013 - The newest spa, beauty and personal care shop in Marquette Township opened its doors last year.
Kolor-2-Dye-4 on U.S. Hwy 41 West in the Mid-Mall Square complex is an affordable alternative saloon, which can accommodate all of your beauty needs including hair, coloring and nails.
The Marquette Township Business Association would like to welcome Kolor-2-Dye-4 as a member and a community partner!
 Marquette Township Business Association Chairman, Frank Stabile, is shown above presenting the “First Dollar” to owner Rena Yelle.
The Marquette Township Business Association met today, Tuesday April 16th, and here are some of the highlights:
- Numerous positive things are happening in the association including events we are sponsoring, being a conduit between business people in the township, and providing a roundtable discussion for concerned business people in the community.
- The association will prorate any dues from inactive unpaid members if they would like to join in the second quarter of 2013.
- Marquette Township Treasurer, Ernie Johnson gave a report that the three new township buildings are moving along quickly. expecting to meet the August 31st deadline. 62 percent of the budget has been spent on the township hall and 51 percent on the fire hall. The bricks have arrived for the outside of the building and when the weather lets up that’ll be done. The tower is up at the fire hall and the clock is still coming!
- Tonight’s township meeting will cover converting the current fire hall into the public works building. When other township properties are to be sold will also be discussed. Another strategic planning session will happen soon. The next three years and beyond will be planned for Marquette Township’s vision.
- A Lions Field update includes that Marquette County Road Commission has abandoned Erie Street, which is step 2 in the process. Step 3 involves legal strings that will slow the process, however, because Trowbridge is a platted subdivision and laws are applied differently.
- The Kennecott truck route is still in the news: discussion took place between Marquette city and township recently and the suggestion was that north/south-bound traffic use McClellan Avenue and east/west-bound use Wright Street to US41. Alternate routes have been suggested in northwest Marquette Township but funds have yet to be identified. In the meantime, Kennecott and the Marquette County Road Commission have an agreement to make updates to Co. Rd. 550, AAA and 510.
- A big issue concerning the tax tribunal is underway involving some of the large box stores in the state (Lowe’s, Best Buy, Menard’s, Target, etc). Marquette Township has invested upwards of $200,000 thus far for legal and other fees involving the tribunal recently held in Grand Rapids. The box stores across the state are trying to have their taxes reduced in some instances by 2/3. Although it’s a wish by all of us to have our taxes reduced, the impact on Marquette County alone will amount to $600,000 a year and will remain in place permanently. Although the loss to the township amounts to about $70,000/year, the impact will be felt more extensively to schools, the senior center, library, county, etc. (everyone on your tax bill). Many entities will be offering support of Marquette Township’s appeal, including (but not limited to) the Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Township Association and the Michigan Association of Counties. Marquette Township has filed an appeal and hopes for a July court date. Members will be receiving more information shortly from Vice-Chair Durant.
