There have been two bigger projects proposed to the city within the last couple of weeks that garnished a ton of traffic in the public meetings and while one project got overwhelming support and is set to be in full swing, the other received a ton of push back and may never get approval.
It seems like these days all the City of Kalamazoo wants to do is frustrate its citizens. And to be fair, no matter what they do, they'll be honking off some group of people or another. The most recent example of this is the project going on now on Park and Westnedge Streets around downtown. The City calls it "traffic calming".
Here it is, the start of fall. If you're a homeowner, you know that things collect and pile up. You don't even need to be a packrat, things just do. And the City of Kalamazoo is going to try and help at least a few of you the first weekend of October.
The City of Kalamazoo has announced it will be closing the homeless encampment along Ampersee Street on Wednesday, September 29th, at 5pm. The reason given is it's a health and safety issue.
