Summary

In September 2020, Gillespie Enterprises announced storm-drain improvements on Maple Street: approximately 400 feet of drain replacement, catch basins, and new drain pipe intended to address longstanding groundwater problems. The work was expected to affect traffic near Main Street/Michigan Avenue and the Little Traverse Bay Bands fishing dock.
