It is our honor to present the City of Traverse City’s achievements in The Performance 2022. The goals and objectives set forth by the City Commission are outlined in the report, and have provided meaningful impacts by contributing to the economic success of the City in terms of financial stability and quality of life for our citizens.
Providing financial security to the City is a priority while we balance the many projects, programs, and initiatives that are essential to maintaining critical infrastructure, preserving the environment, and providing opportunities for our citizenry.
The City is taking a proactive approach on addressing aging infrastructure and our clean and drinking water infrastructure. We are proud that after 30 years, and in collaboration with area partners, the completion of the Boardman Lake Loop Trail became a reality. From Hickory Hills, to neighborhood parks, to the bayfront, the positive impacts of immersing ourselves in nature do not go unnoticed. Addressing affordable housing by executing various programs and focusing on tools that can be utilized to provide more housing have been researched extensively this year.
As we look ahead, a rewrite of the City’s Master Plan is under way, with the inclusion of the Mobility Action Plan. In addition, the DDA completed their Moving Downtown Forward initiative. Each of these plans will provide the framework and serve as a roadmap to planning in the years to come.
We trust that The Performance will make you proud of the scope of activities and accomplishments that the City has achieved in the last year. Serving the City of Traverse City is our pleasure. We extend a thank you to our engaged citizens, the City Commission, City staff, and all residents for supporting the efforts toward successful stewardship of our home.
Martin Colburn, City Manager
Richard I. Lewis, Mayor
