Mr. Cramer, Federal Highway Administration, stated they have heard from the Congressional Representatives that the Senate removed the 18 month extension and there will be an extension through mid-December. Mr. Cramer further explained that the House Bill has restoration in it, and the Senate Bill does not. Mr. Palombo stated there has not been much activity in the state regarding transportation issues and no bills have been introduced to increase revenues. He stated that House Bill 4962 and 4963 were reported out of the House Sub- committee last week, expanding the concept of Asset Management from road and bridges to other assets within the right-of-way. The State’s Transportation Asset Management Council will make some determination as to what these assets are. He stated it also includes a new state transportation asset management council to address and set up requirements for asset management of public transit . Mr. Palombo expressed his concern about the lack of obligation of stimulus money. He stated this is free money and that these projects need to be obligated.

    CCHAPTERHAPTER 1:1: IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION In This Chapter: Historical Setting - History & Memories Location in the County & Region - Location & Description, Municipal Boundaries Regional Influences on the Township - Accessibility, Urban Development, Transportation, Recreation and Cultural Facilities PORT HURON TOWNSHIP MASTER PLAN INTRODUCTION The information presented here is a combination of input from citizens and elected and appointed officials, as well as Township Planning Commission members and staff, along with the assistance and guidance of the St. Clair County Planning Commission. It contains statistical data and information, both past and present, that can give some insight for our future. While we cannot definitively project future development, we can try to help determine efficient and effective ways of managing and shaping the way our Township develops. In concert with that thought, this plan also includes a chapter on a Vision for the Township which includes both goals and objectives. This can help us focus on what we would like development to look like when it comes, and to give direction to developers on the expectations we have as a community. Knowing that these goals and objectives have been developed by our citizens gives them guidance as to what is desirable and marketable to our residents and therefore profitable to them. While many master plans contain an overwhelming amount of statistical information, we hope to provide a fair amount of usable information in the form of maps, charts and tables that demonstrate logical and historical reasons and trends for what has taken place in the Township and how we can benefit from that in our future.
