Township, School, and County Officials Discussing Safety Improvements Near Waverly Schools
 It has been nearly a year since the unfortunate death of a Waverly High School student on Michigan Avenue. Since then, a safety committee comprised of citizen input, Township staff, Delta Fire Department, Eaton County Sheriff Department's Delta Patrol, Waverly School Board members and staff, have worked to analyze the area and to find ways to make it safer for students. Items discussed include short-term options such as outreach and education, repainting crosswalks, additional patrols, media coverage of school safety, and coordinating with Eaton County Road Commission on crosswalks, signage, and school zones.
In addition, the committee is exploring long term options such as upgrading the flashing beacons, brighter street lights, more street lights, and other non-motorized options. These longer term items are complex due to the cost and agency responsible.
The committee will continue to analyze the safety of the area and work to make improvements.
One large improvement is currently underway. Delta Township has partnered with the Eaton County Road Commission to replace and improve the street lights at Snow Road and Michigan Ave. as well as Snow Road and St. Joe Highway. These new lights will provide better traffic optimization and better crossing at those intersections. These projects began last week and are expected to be completed in April 2017. If you have any questions please call Brian Reed at
517-323-8590.
