Earth Week 2025 came with a positive development for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) on efforts to implement a pilot program for analyzing wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) and learn ways to design safer crossings.Amanda Novak, a resource specialist in MDOT's Bay Region, returns to the podcast to talk about a recently awarded $476,000 federal grant and how it will be put toward the pilot program. She previously spoke about the grant on the podcast in September 2024.While we think of white-tailed deer most commonly when it comes to WVCs, other species to be considered include elk, moose, black bear, wild turkey, pine marten, eastern massasauga rattlesnake and Blanding's turtle. As laid out in the project abstract for the grant, the number of WVCs in Michigan continues to increase annually, worsening risks and costs to drivers. For example, white-tailed deer alone account for more than 55,000 WVCs and cost motorists an average of $130 million per year in Michigan. Additionally, WVCs are a major threat to many wildlife populations in the state, including documented impacts on several threatened and endangered species. Projected increases in tourism, housing development and climate change effects are likely to exacerbate WVC effects on motorists and wildlife in Michigan.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with Brian Travis, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project manager overseeing the rebuilding of the central segment of I-696. The work, which began in March and will continue through most of 2027, involves closing the eastbound lanes of I-696 from M-10 and Lahser Road east to I-75. Travis explains that this is the last of three phases of the "Restore the Reuther" project, a $275 million rebuilding of the freeway. In 2019, the state completed work along the easternmost portion, along with the western end in 2023 and 2024. The conversation also includes an update on MDOT's second flex route, this one on I-96 in Oakland County. The project is nearing completion as crews prepare for the use of ramp metering to regulate the flow of traffic to the freeway. A video explains the benefits of the flex route and ramp metering.

A few days after a massive ice storm rocked northern lower Michigan, many thousands remain without power while crews from power companies, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and other state and local agencies continue the cleanup and rebuilding process.Bill Wahl, MDOT North Region associate engineer for operations, who is coordinating department efforts, joins the podcast to provide an update on the recovery.Also joining is James Lake, MDOT North Region media relations specialist, who assists the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) with communications. He talks about why falling ice necessitated closing the bridge three times in three days, including a record 30-hour period.Wahl and Lake grew up in the region and neither has seen anything like this ice storm and the resulting destruction. Wahl recounts utility workers who had been on power-restoration projects following hurricanes in the Southeast saying the scenes are as bad or worse as anything they've seen.Wahl says crews from several counties to the south, including Kent, Ottawa, Mason, Missaukee, Muskegon, Roscommon, Iosco and Wexford, were helping to clear roads.While the Mackinac Bridge re-opened Thursday morning, April 3, after a 30-hour closure, officials will continue to closely monitor conditions for falling ice. The MBA posted a video message on X from Bridge Director Kim Nowack about the falling ice, along with some photos from the bridge. More videos of falling ice that prompted the current closure were also posted on X. The bridge has closed roughly 30 times in the past 30 years, and the average closure duration is several hours. More frequently asked questions about falling ice and other topics are available on the MBA website.

Our guest today is Mississippi attorney Francis Springer. We touched on the importance of no conflicts of interest in client / lawyer relationshipIf you need some answers after the recent storms in Mississippi : MS Legal Services dot org is a guide to free civil legal services for low-income persons and seniors in Mississippi. Their disaster relief webpage has information about Federal Agencies that provide disaster assistance, Locating and applying for disaster assistance, and suggestions for settling insurance claims after a disaster.MDOT says: If a traffic light is flashing yellow, it's important to remember that there is no need to come to a stop, but motorists should stay alert for other drivers entering the highway and proceed with caution. When approaching a flashing red traffic light, drivers must come to a complete stop. An intersection with flashing red lights in all directions should be treated as a four-way stop. In the event of a power outage, treat dark traffic lights as a stop sign and intersections as a four-way stop. .Money Talks, one of our MPB local shows heard at 9am just before In Legal Terms on Tuesday, is also a podcast.

In this episode of the "Modern Day Overthinker" podcast, host Collin Strajack talks with guest Bailee Huethert about personal struggles and recovery, particularly in the context of addiction. Bailee shares her journey into recovery, which began unexpectedly during a work trip away from familiar support structures, leading her to her first recovery meeting. She delves into the challenges of recovery, emphasizing the difference between mere abstinence and true recovery, a distinction highlighted by her father's insights. A significant part of the conversation focuses on Bailee's battles with mental health issues, including severe depression diagnosed from a young age, and her complex relationship with her mother, which feeds into her complex PTSD. She discusses the importance of support systems and being truthful in therapeutic settings to truly benefit from them. Bailee and Collin also touch upon lighter topics, such as gaming and living arrangements, providing a break from the more intense themes of addiction and recovery. They discuss the impact of COVID-19 on personal relationships and the commonality of coping mechanisms that people often adopt in stressful times. Towards the end of the podcast, there's a shift towards a discussion of faith and spirituality. Bailee expresses a nuanced view on organized religion, suggesting that while it does not currently meet her needs, she recognizes its value for others and does not completely close off the possibility of it playing a role in her future. Overall, this episode of the podcast offers a deep dive into the challenges and nuances of personal recovery and mental health, balanced with everyday realities and a touch of humor, providing a comprehensive and relatable discussion for listeners.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Margaret Barondess, a manager in the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) environmental section who is retiring from state government, reflects on her career. More than 50 years ago, Congress adopted the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Barondess, who worked for MDOT for 33 years, explains how the act informs planning for transportation projects in Michigan and department efforts to at once protect our air, waterways, wildlife, and plants and minimize inconvenience to travelers. While critics of NEPA have argued for scaling back the need for environmental impact statements, supporters tout NEPA's role in saving money, time, lives, historical sites, endangered species and public lands while encouraging compromise and cultivating better projects with more public support. Barondess also talks about the challenges and rewards she and her team have experienced in recent years, including the success protecting some threatened species on a segment of I-75 in Monroe County with a corridor conservation action plan.

This invigorating winter activity offers a plethora of benefits for triathletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. The Benefits Snowshoe running is a powerhouse workout that combines cardio, strength, and endurance. The added resistance of trudging through the snow increases the intensity of your runs, making it a phenomenal cardiovascular exercise that boosts your aerobic capacity. The uneven terrain challenges your stabilizer muscles, enhancing strength and coordination. Plus, it's a low-impact activity that reduces the risk of injuries typically associated with running on harder surfaces. Snowshoe running also works your core and legs harder than traditional running, promoting muscular and tendon development while improving overall athletic performance. Essential Gear Getting started with snowshoe running requires some specialized equipment, but don't worry—it's straightforward. Here's what you'll need: Snowshoes: Opt for running-specific snowshoes which are lighter and more streamlined than their hiking counterparts. Brands like Atlas and MSR offer excellent options. Running Shoes: Wear your regular trail running shoes, paired with gaiters to keep the snow out. Apparel: Dress in moisture-wicking, breathable layers to stay warm and dry. Don't forget gloves and a hat to protect against the cold. Poles (Optional): Some runners prefer using poles for added stability, especially on uneven or steep terrain. How to Get Started Starting your snowshoe running journey is easier than you might think. Follow these steps to hit the snow-covered trails with confidence: Find a Trail: Look for local parks or dedicated snowshoe trails. Many ski resorts also offer groomed trails perfect for beginners. Warm-Up: Just like any workout, start with a dynamic warm-up to prepare your muscles and prevent injuries. Pace Yourself: Snowshoe running is more challenging than regular running, so begin with shorter distances to build your endurance. Focus on Form: Keep a shorter stride and lift your knees higher to navigate through the snow effectively. Use your arms to maintain balance. Stay Hydrated: Cold weather can be deceiving; you still need to stay hydrated, so bring water and hydrate regularly. 5 Best Trails to Check Out in Colorado according to All Trails: #5. Nymph Lake Trail: Head out on this 5.0-mile out-and-back trail near Estes Park, Colorado. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 34 min to complete. Before heading out on a winter hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, it is a good idea to have experience hiking in winter conditions. It is advised to keep your eye on weather and avalanche conditions. #4. Lost Lake via Hessie Trail: Located near the small town of Eldora west of Nederland, this 4.0 mile route starts at the Hessie Trailhead off County Road 130 and leads to the Devil's Thumb Trail. This great trail is a perfect option for a day trip with an incredible destination. Keep an eye out for moose which are commonly seen along this trail! #3. Saint Mary's Glacier: Explore this 1.6-mile out-and-back trail near Idaho Springs, Colorado. Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a very popular area for cross-country skiing, fishing, and hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are April through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. #2. Royal Arch Trail: Try this 3.3-mile out-and-back trail near Boulder, Colorado. Generally considered a challenging route. This is a very popular area for hiking, snowshoeing, and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are March through October. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas. #1: Emerald Lake Trail: Try this 3.2-mile out-and-back trail near Estes Park, Colorado. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 39 min to complete. This is a very popular area for fishing, hiking, and snowshoeing, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail. Snowshoe running is not just a winter substitute for your regular runs; it's a unique and effective way to enhance your overall fitness. So, strap on your snowshoes, and get ready to explore the serene, snowy wilderness while taking your training to the next level. Your future triathlete self will thank you! Ready to take on the snowy trails? Remember, the only limit is the one you set yourself. Happy snowshoe running! 303Triathlon News and Updates: IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship 2024: PRO Women predictions, podium picks and ones to watch 2024 has featured an everlasting gobstopper of a race calendar, with the T100 Series really kicking things off back in March. And now, finally, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Taupo finishing up what has got to be the busiest year of PRO triathlon racing in recent history. With a world title, and the last chance to grab valuable (literally) IRONMAN Pro Series points on the line, the PRO women's start list is stellar. So as some of the world's fastest female triathletes line up for one last dance before the year is out, who are the top contenders for the win? For the last time in 2024, it's time to dust off my crystal ball and attempt to bring you my pre-race predictions. There are a number of names on the 62-strong PRO women's start list who could certainly contend for the podium at the 2024 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. And with the race coming so late in the year, and happening almost on the other side of the world for a large number of the athletes. If there was ever a race where ‘anything could happen' this is probably it.

It's been a hotly-debated topic ever since the rotation with Nice was announced and it seems all options are now open for the IMWC. The future location and format of the IRONMAN World Championship would appear to be more up in the air than ever judging by the latest development from the M-Dot brand. Rumours have been swirling around for much of the second part of this year as to whether the current rotation between the spiritual home of Kona and Nice will see out its four-year cycle. The IMWC had always been held in Hawaii, with the men and women racing on the same day. That was until 2022 when they were each given their own day in Kona, with the pro women racing on the Thursday that year and the men on the Saturday. From a pro racing perspective the hugely important benefit of that was that the women had their own day of racing and all the coverage that entailed. However at that point it proved too much for the islanders, with the then mayor saying: “We learned that more than one race day during IRONMAN week is too many for the community to manage.” But with a steadfast commitment now in place for separate race days for men and women, IRONMAN decided a dual location system was the next best solution – so for 2023 they announced that the women would race in Kona and the men in Nice around a month before, which would then rotate for the next four years through to 2026. We're only halfway through that process and it's far to say it continues to split opinion more than virtually any other topic in triathlon – with huge implications for age-groupers and pros alike. It's a burning issue for Scott DeRue, who this year took over from long-term incumbent Andrew Messick as IRONMAN's CEO and inherited the rotation format. Another potentially significant recent change is a new mayor in Hawaii – so could two days in Kona now be back on the table? ‘Listening and learning' Judging by a survey that IRONMAN have sent out to sections of the media (and plenty of others by the sounds of it, including the all-important athletes) it would appear that all options are again up for discussion. The email introduction to the survey we received read as follows: “Respected Members of the Media – Two years ago, we split the IRONMAN World Championship, spanning both Kona and Nice, and we are incredibly proud of all that our athletes have achieved in both of these historic and beautiful locations. Email/Survey Two years ago, we split the IRONMAN World Championship, spanning both Kona and Nice, and we are incredibly proud of all that our athletes have achieved in both of these historic and beautiful locations. During these two years, we have sought and received feedback from diverse stakeholders to help us better understand the important role of the IRONMAN World Championship within our community. One thing is clear – the IRONMAN World Championship is the pinnacle of our sport, a celebration of human achievement, and a testament to the passion and commitment of our IRONMAN community. As we look to the long-term future of the IRONMAN World Championship, we are committed to listening to and learning from our community. In this spirit, we would like your input as a valued member of our IRONMAN `ohana. Your feedback will form part of the ongoing inputs we will continue to collect as we envision the long-term future of the IRONMAN World Championship.

One of the projects in Detroit that's gotten a lot of attention locally and nationally is the proposed removal of the I-375 freeway in downtown Detroit and turning it back into something that fits with the fabric of a community. Eric Larson, head of the Downtown Detroit Partnership, sat down with us in studio to share his thoughts on why the I-375 project is more than just a standard infrastructure upgrade. Initially conceived as a bridge repair effort, the project has evolved into a significant opportunity to reimagine Detroit's transportation landscape. With support from the Biden administration and a $105 million federal commitment, the project aims to reconnect communities, enhance pedestrian-friendliness, and address past harms inflicted on historic neighborhoods like Black Bottom and Paradise Valley. The conversation covers the Downtown Detroit Partnership's role in ensuring the project reflects the city's broader vision for sustainable urban development. Larson discusses the balance between maintaining traffic flow for major events and creating a livable environment for everyday residents. He emphasizes the importance of community engagement and innovative traffic management solutions to address concerns about speed and access. The episode also touches on the potential integration of the I-375 project with the separate I-75 caps initiative, highlighting the need for coordinated urban planning to maximize benefits for Detroit's diverse communities. With construction slated to begin next year, Larson urges listeners to participate in upcoming community meetings and provide input on the project's future. For those interested in learning more and getting involved, visit downtowndetroit.org to access the peer review and stay informed about public engagement opportunities. And however you feel about the project, don't miss the December 3, 2024 meeting hosted by MDOT for further community discussions.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a return visit by Brian Travis, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project manager on the I-96 Flex Route in western Oakland County, which is wrapping up soon. The innovative project, allowing for the use of shoulders as travel lanes during peak travel times, is MDOT's second use of Flex Route concept. In 2016 and 2017, contractors built the first phase of a Flex Route, a $125 million investment on US-23 north of Ann Arbor. A project is underway for a second phase, at an estimated cost of $162 million, to extend the US-23 Flex Route from north of 8 Mile Road to I-96. Travis says the Oakland County project is on schedule and three lanes should be restored in each direction within a few days of this recording on Oct. 24, 2024. He also touts the safety and efficiency benefits the added capacity during peak travel hours will provide and explains that contractors came very close to the targeted cost of $270 million. Travis also explains why traffic will resume on three lanes soon, but the shoulders will not be available for use until early 2025. Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.
On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with Ryan Mitchell, marking the one-year anniversary of the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Office of Major Projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) categorizes major projects as those with a price tag of $500 million or more. Mitchell helped establish and refine the alternative delivery and critical project delivery programs of numerous U.S. transportation agencies, including the state transportation departments of Nevada, Texas, Alaska, and now Michigan. In our conversation, he explains the various types of alternative delivery of projects and the benefits.

1- JACKSON, Miss. —The Mississippi Department of Transportation will be closing two lanes in both directions of I-55 over the Pearl River in Jackson for bridge work. Set-up for the project will be underway Tuesday, and shutdowns will start Wednesday on I-55 north and south before The Stacks. MDOT Spokesperson Michael Flood said the project is a hydro-demolition over the north and southbound I-55 bridges. Workers will blast away the old road foundation. "It is basically like you are pressure washing, but you are on a construction scale, so it blasts out all the asphalt, concrete that is on top of that bridge deck, and it goes all the way down to the rebar," Flood said. "Then they check the rebar to see the shape that it is in." They will repair the sections that need it and come back with a complete overlay. But it's no small job and not one that will be handled overnight. MDOT said it is a 24-7 operation that will take until the end of the year to complete. According to MDOT, The Stack has more than 113,000 vehicles traveling daily. Commuters who travel the bridge daily said this project is not going to be easy. "We have got alternate routes posted on our website, like I-220 to get around it if you're headed north. You can also use highways 468 and 475 to Lakeland Drive to get around it, as well," Flood said. MDOT said the work is needed to extend the life of the bridges. 2- Family Adventure Park Urban Air spoke out about a series of vehicle break-ins that happened Saturday while the owners were enjoying their time in the park. They shared more on how the situation unfolded. "Whenever the people were coming back up, our security was actually walking in and it was brought to his attention and he immediately jumped into action to help those people," said Tim Kempt, manager at the park. Kempt said they have a good relationship with Jackson police, as they patrol the parking lot for urban air at no cost. Jackson police Chief Joseph Wade shared the problems these break-ins cause not only for law enforcement, but the community as well. "The first issue is that now we have another stolen gun on the streets of Jackson. Now, we are only adding to the availability and accessibility of guns in our community. And also, we have a population of individuals within our community that continue to pillage and plague our community with gun violence specifically," Wade said. Wade is asking the community to lock their doors and take their weapons out of their vehicles, especially when going out to public spaces. "I ask that the public to please take the guns out of their vehicles at night, please do. I think it's a precaution, well I know it's a precaution for law enforcement and your fellow citizens in the city of Jackson," Wade said. Kempt said they just want the community to feel safe and enjoy the park. "We are just a place where people can have fun, eat, and enjoy time with their family," Kempt said. The break-ins are still under investigation, and Jackson police have not arrested any suspects at this time. 3-PEARL, Miss. (WLBT) - A man died after a vehicle accident in Pearl on October 10. The Pearl Police Department says the incident happened around 11:17 p.m. in the 2300 block of Highway 468. A press release says the first officer who arrived at the scene witnessed a male fleeing the accident and running on Highway 468 toward his patrol vehicle. As other officers arrived at the scene, they found the wrecked vehicle around 100 yards away from the male. There, they found a woman with severe head trauma. Officers requested additional medical services and started caring for the victims. Authorities say that the male went into cardiac arrest, and medical personnel started CPR. According to the press release, the officer then ordered the male to the ground, and he complied. The male and female were taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center for treatment. According to the press release, the male died at UMMC. The Pearl Police Department also released a statement regarding this incident to dispel social media reports claiming that officers kneeled on the male's neck. "This incident has been reviewed by [the] Administration, and these claims are completely fabricated. This entire incident was captured on body and dash cameras. The individuals responsible for these outlandish claims should be ashamed of themselves for taking a tragic death [and] horrific scene and using it to cause irreparable harm to the community/police relationship. Thank you to the many responsible and reputable news sources who contacted the Pearl Police Department to verify the accuracy of this information prior to publishing fictitious claims."

Despite Michigan's hands-free driving law being in place for more than a year now, police are still seeing drivers holding their phones or other devices in vehicles. The practice is especially troublesome where road work is going on.On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, conversations with a construction engineer facing the challenge of working with contractors to rebuild roads in a timely manner while maintaining mobility for the public. First, Tanya Pawlukiewicz, MDOT's Grand Region construction engineer, talks about a number of crashes that have occurred in a work zone on a major project on I-96 in Ionia County. Later, Michigan State Police Sgt. Bradley Campbell talks about what he and his colleagues are seeing and hearing along the I-96 corridor and the effectiveness of Operation Ghost Rider.One conclusion: Despite aggressive public awareness campaigns, expansive media coverage and other efforts, many people don't know about the hands-free law. On a recent day, Campbell says four of nine drivers stopped for using their phones told troopers they were ignorant of the law.
