Peninsula Trustees Address Center Road, Approve Fire Station Contract/Bayshore Event
By Beth Milligan | Oct. 15, 2026
In the wake of the second fatal crash on Center Road in three months, Peninsula Township trustees are working with local and state officials to address speeding and safety issues on Old Mission. Those could include new rumble strips along the road shoulder and more law enforcement action, with Grand Traverse County Sheriff Mike Shea promising an “increased presence” in the township. Trustees Tuesday also voted to move forward with a new fire station design and approved plans for the 2027 Bayshore Marathon.
