Good morning, Traverse City.

Munson Healthcare announced a $120,000 donation to fund Community Connections, a free program that helps families get medical, dental, behavioral, and other support services across 31 northern counties — the funding will run for two years.

After months of community outcry, the DNR will replace the state park pedestrian bridge with an ADA compliant version that links visitors to the beach — a plan backed by state lawmakers.

Rep. Coffia said a meeting will be held in the next few weeks to discuss funding after an excavator hit the bridge.

Jeff Meilbeck is the new executive director at the Bay Area Transportation Authority after a nationwide search with over 100 applicants and will begin his role on Oct.

1 — replacing interim director Chris Davis who led the agency since former director Kelly Dunham left in late 2024.

Hoopology LLC returns its Youth Basketball Training Academy to Traverse City West Senior High School from July 28 to Aug.
