The Michigan DNR warns of increased fatal moose-vehicle collisions in the Upper Peninsula during the fall season. In the last four years, 60 moose have been killed in crashes with vehicles. Drivers should be cautious, especially at night, using high beams in marked crossing areas. Unlike deer, moose react slowly, posing a human fatality risk. Since 1984, 266 moose have been hit (251 fatalities), mainly in the western U.P. The core moose population in Baraga, Iron, Marquette counties hasn’t grown, at around 300-500 animals. If you hit a large animal, turn on flashers, move to the shoulder, call the police, then the DNR’s Report All Poaching hotline for meat salvage.

The Ironwood City Commission is seeking new proposals for multi-family housing development at the former Wells Fargo property in downtown Ironwood, located at 205 W. Aurora St. This decision, according to TheDailyGlobe, comes after Cinnaire Solutions, a Lansing-based company, withdrew its option to purchase the 1.32-acre site. For the past two years, the city had been working with Cinnaire Solutions to develop an apartment complex. However, according to Tom Bergman, the city’s community development director, Cinnaire was unsuccessful in securing funding through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. Bergman stated that requesting new proposals is “currently the best path forward for the city as it moves forward with the implementation of its Housing Action Plan to create more housing opportunities in Ironwood.”
