A 35 year career comes to an end this week with the retirement of Traverse’s City’s City Planner, Russ Soyring.
City Planning includes everything from streets, neighborhoods, and parks… to growth and development. And one man has had it all piling up on his desk since 1986. “We’ve done park planning, neighborhood planning, downtown planning, street planning. It really covers the whole gambit.”
He’s been a familiar voice at City Hall for more than three decades. Russ Soyring started as City Planner in 1986. That was back when Alan Trammel and Lou Whitaker were the driving force of the Detroit Tigers, and Soyring became a driving force for Traverse City.
