They say when one door closes, another opens... Well, in our case, when one street opens, another one closes!

While we’re all breathing a collective sigh of relief that Ross Street is officially reopened, please note that W. Brown St (between Ross and Pearson) will be closing for the next few weeks.

We understand that closures and detours can be inconvenient, but so is aging infrastructure! Thank you for your continued patience while the City of Beaverton Michigan completes this valuable work to benefit our entire community.

ALL BUSINESSES ON THIS BLOCK ARE OPEN!
Some shops have even opened accessible entrances from the rear alleyway to make visiting as smooth as possible. Beaverton is known for rallying together and supporting our local spots—let’s keep that tradition going and show these businesses some love through the construction!

The moment we've all been waiting for! 🥁

We’ve received confirmation (pending weather, of course)! The section of M-18 (Ross St) near Glidden Rd in the City limits that has been closed for water infrastructure replacement and ground contamination removal is slated for a pavement base layer tomorrow, Friday, September 25, 2026, and a final top layer to be completed on Monday, September 28, 2026.

Please refrain from entering this area at all possible costs so that this can be expedited as quickly as possible. Safety is everyone's main priority!

Thank you, everyone, for your continued patience as the contractors worked to navigate surprising obstacles during what everyone had hoped would be a quick, in-and-out project. We are almost at the finish line! 🚧🚗

Exciting news for Beaverton's Ross Lake Park visitors! 🚤☀️

We are thrilled to announce that a new Life Jacket Loaner Station is now set up at the Ross Lake Park boat launch area!

Location: Ross Lake Park – 358 Ross St, Beaverton, MI 48612

Thanks to an opportunity secured by the City of Beaverton through the Sea Tow Foundation, community members and visitors can borrow high-quality life jackets—free of charge.

How it works:

🦺 Borrow: Grab a life jacket in the size you need before heading out on the water.

🌊 Enjoy: Have a fun, safe day swimming, boating, or paddling on Ross Lake.

🔄 Return: Simply hang the life jacket back up on the stand as soon as you are done.

Please be mindful of the purpose of this station: these life jackets are shared community safety equipment intended to stay at the park. Always return them after use so they are ready for the next person—doing so ensures everyone stays safe and could truly save someone's life!

Important Ross Lake Ecosystem Progress Update! 🌊✨

While residents have been asking, we prefer not to share details until we have a full and accurate picture to report. We realize this dredging project (not w**d control) has been several years in the making, so here is what we can officially confirm so far:

County Delegation & Funding: Gladwin County granted the City of Beaverton delegation to work with two separate engineering firms to collect critical data within the waterways (as the City does not own Ross Lake). This lengthy process has been fully supported by two distinct federal funding sources:

MEDC Funds: $1,918,330

RCPP Funds: $1,500,000 (via Gladwin County agreements)

Project Status: Data collection is complete, and multiple required environmental reviews have been successfully finalized.

Bidding Underway: The project recently went out for bid, bids have officially been received, and the bid tabulation is currently in progress.

Next Major Step: The project is currently in the review stage of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy permitting process!

Stay tuned for more official updates! Thanks for your patience, comments, and support as we move this forward for our community! It's important to all of us that we restore the Waterways to their original state before the 2020 flood devastation! 💙
