Interesting article on MLive this morning regarding the Michigan legislature's efforts to find revenue for road funding -- they're talking about it, but no agreements have been reached yet. Gov. Snyder wants $1.2 billion in additional revenue per year to put to roads. http://www.mlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/michigan_legislative_leaders_l.html#incart_river_default

Thanks for the notes, all. The M-15 typo was something I had noticed yesterday and thought I had fixed before it published today. I've corrected it to M-14 in the story.

I agree that there seems to be a typo re: construction on Gotfredson. I expect that should read between M-14 and N. Territorial.

I believe the interval of road construction for Gotfredson is M14 and N. Territorial...fat finger typing strikes again :) ? Thanks for the traffic updates! I guess I will take Beck to N. Territorial on the 14th. Safe travels everyone!
