Port Huron residents are reminded that the city’s winter parking rules are now in effect. Starting today cars cannot park on paved streets between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. to allow for snow removal. The rules will stay in place through March 31st, of ’26. Officials say drivers will get warning notices during the first five days, but after that, parking violations will carry a $23 dollar fine. Police urge everyone to follow the rules to keep streets clear and safe.

Marlette Elementary’s new Lego robotics team finished its first season at the Bulldog Classic in Flint, competing in the FIRST Lego League “Unearthed” challenge. Fourth and fifth graders built and coded robots to move artifacts and navigate tricky terrain. Despite being a first-year team, they quickly learned coding and teamwork, even fixing programs on-site. Their Innovation Project focused on safer, more efficient archaeological digs. Coaches and high school mentors guided the students, and the school plans to start next season earlier and expand robotics for middle schoolers.

Port Huron is moving ahead with a new affordable housing project after receiving a $1.26 million state grant. The funding will help build 12 duplex-style condos for low- to moderate-income families near 25th and 26th Streets and Nern and Cleveland. City Manager James Freed says the grant, combined with $650,000 in city ARPA funds, will support first-time homebuyers. Each 1,300-square-foot unit will have three bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and energy-efficient features. Construction will begin once approvals and financing are complete.
