A new traffic study is raising alarms about one of Michigan’s busiest intersections. The roundabout at 18½ Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue in Sterling Heights has been named the state’s most dangerous by Michigan Auto Law. State police data show 162 crashes and 12 injuries there in ’24 — up 20 percent from the year before. Experts say the multi-lane design and heavy freeway traffic nearby make it tricky for drivers to navigate. The report urges motorists to slow down and stay alert when entering roundabouts.

Construction is moving forward at Port Huron’s Military Street Pocket Park, where crews are laying the groundwork for a redesigned space along the Black River. Workers installed steel supports last week, with a concrete pour for the footings planned for this week—weather permitting. Once poured, the concrete will cure for about three weeks before the next phase begins. So far, the city has paid more than 237 thousand dollars for the project. City officials expect the downtown park to reopen by summer.

In Port Huron, the St. Clair County Drug Task Force made two major busts on last Wednesday. Officers stopped a Detroit man near the I-94 connector and 32nd Street, discovering cocaine and heroin hidden in a child’s car seat after a K9 search. He now faces multiple felony drug charges. Later that evening, investigators raided a home on the 1400 block of 27th Street in Port Huron Township, finding meth, pills, and a shotgun. The 45-year-old resident was arrested and charged with several felonies.
