Feet on the Street road closures could return to downtown Bay City this summer
BAY CITY, MI - There could be a light at the end of the tunnel for Bay City’s outdoor dining fans. On Monday, April 3, the Bay City Commission will consider a resolution that, if approved, would restore street closures in downtown Bay City for the 2023 Feet on the Street season. On Monday, March 6, the Bay City Commission approved a resolution from commissioner Shelley Ann Niedzwiecki that allows for Saginaw Street in downtown Bay City to close for the entire 2023 outdoor dining season.

The April 3 meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. in the city commission chambers at Bay City Hall, 301 Washington Avenue.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Residents might start noticing tags on their recycling carts again showing them what was improperly recycled as gains made by a curbside inspection program last fall have started slipping. Grand Rapids stopped tagging carts for about four months after the program because people were recycling far better than they had before. For example, the tonnage of recyclables incinerated during that time due to unacceptable materials fell roughly 73%, compared to before the program. “Our current recycling initiatives would be to continue to sustain the improvements that we did see from the Feet on the Street program,” said Robert Swain, acting director of the Grand Rapids Public Works Department.

Suffer from back pain? You may want to look down at your feet
If you suffer from back, hip or knee pain, you may want to look down at your feet. Why could my back, hip or knee pain come from my feet? If you supinate (meaning your ankles turn outward), or pronate (your ankles turn inward), there is extra strain put on your knees because your feet and ankles are not in alignment, Nadolski said.
