May those among us who share Your vision of stewardship be empowered by Your presence to perform our duties which we have been charged, with wisdom, humility, and grace.

Resolutions

 

 

Senator Patterson offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 123.

A resolution to express opposition to a proposal to construct a bridge between Meso Island and Sugar Island in the Detroit River.

Whereas, The Sugar Island Regional Transportation Agency has announced a proposal to construct a bridge to connect Sugar Island with Meso Island. The islands, which are in the Detroit River, are part of Grosse Ile Township; and

Whereas, The United States Coast Guard, which issues necessary bridge permits on the basis of navigational, environmental, and other considerations, has asked for comments on the proposal at this point as part of its information gathering; and

Whereas, Local residents and those who regularly traverse the area of the Detroit River near these islands in the vicinity of Grosse Ile are concerned that the proposed bridge will impede navigation. As presented, the new bridge would have a clearance of 25 feet. This clearance is the same as that for the nearby free bridge that connects Grosse Ile with the mainland, and that clearance is known to pose navigational problems for many vessels; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we express opposition to the proposal to construct a bridge between Meso Island and Sugar Island in the Detroit River as presented by the United States Coast Guard in its Public Notice 09-02/03; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of Commander in the Ninth Coast Guard District in Cleveland, the Sugar Island Regional Transportation Agency, and the Grosse Ile Township Board of Trustees.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Hammerstrom moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senator Cassis was named co-sponsor of the resolution.

 

By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of
