MACOMB TOWNSHIP — Projects to make Macomb Township more walkable are underway as $1 million has been allocated to closing gaps between sidewalks.
Several pathway projects are being worked on as part of the township’s Pathway Gap Closure Program. “The 2024 Pathway Gap Program (to be constructed this year) will focus on gaps in the 25 Mile Road and Garfield Road area as well as along the east side of Hayes Road
south of 24 Mile Road,” said Crystal Kozak, township engineer, in an email. “The 2025 Pathway Gap Program (currently in design) will focus on completing gaps along 24 Mile Road between Hayes Road and Garfield Road and Garfield Road north of 24 Mile Road to help facilitate pedestrian traffic in
the Lutheran High School North and St. Peters School and Church areas. We are also working on designing a pedestrian bridge along the west side of Card Road over the McBride Drain, just south of 23 Mile Road.” The program has been around since See SIDEWALK on page 15A
Veteran’s vision transforms former ACO Hardware space

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Canteen Golf and Billiards isn’t just a place to unwind. It’s a place to give back. The new business, replacing the former ACO Hardware in a strip mall at 41601 Garfield Road, offers golf simulators and pool tables with a variety of games. While the fun center is available to everyone, it puts a special emphasis on veterans. Canteen features a mural dedicated to those who served. Owner Bert Copple, a U.S. Army veteran, took 75 submissions from those who served to add to the mural. The pictures are arranged on a timeline, spanning the global war on terror. “It tells the story of the war because there are whole generations that weren’t even alive in 2001,” Copple said. “So, we’re trying to get them to understand why we went to war, what happened, and it tells the good, the bad and the ugly.”
