High-tech business incubator MI-HQ, which now operates out of the former Gelman Sciences campus, hopes to clean up and transform the 1960s-era facility.
The three-mile stretch of Washtenaw Avenue between US-23 and EMU’s water tower area has been the target of discussion for years. Now, an MDOT study on that stretch of road is taking a comprehensive look at how to fix it and also how to make it an area friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists as well. On this edition of "On the Ground Ypsi," WEMU's Cathy Shafran and Concentrate Media's Rylee Barnsdale hear from Nathan Voght, the project manager for Reimagine Washtenaw, about visions for this portion of Washtenaw Avenue that could one day make it a multi-modal corridor, rather than a pothole-laden stretch of land to maneuver around.

The City of Howellâs sign ordinance is undergoing a major overhaul.
Proposed changes were presented to the Planning Commission back in October, which members have been reviewing since. The goal is to update the ordinance to modern standards and address legal issues that have come up over the years. The Commission met virtually Wednesday night and discussed various aspects and some minor language changes. It was stated that political signs are addressed in the ordinance as being a temporary ground sign. Some focus was put on the size and timeframes for temporary signs but the larger conversation was centered on whether to allow or ban electronic message signs (EMS). The latter was described as really and âall or nothingâ proposition because allowing them or certain uses is largely viewed as regulating content.
