Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for today.As the sun comes up over Grand Traverse Bay, downtown Traverse City is buzzing with talk about a new proposal to revive that long delayed parking deck project at West Front and State. A developer has stepped forward offering to partner with the city and the Downtown Development Authority to finally get the structure built, along with possible mixed use space. City leaders say the big questions now are cost, design, and how much of the site should be reserved for housing and retail. For anyone who has circled downtown on a busy weekend or during film fest season, the outcome of this debate will shape how easy it is to live, work, and play downtown for years to come.Across the region, public safety is also in focus. Regional authorities continue searching for two missing snowmobilers in Mason County after they disappeared Saturday night near Sheridan Township. The search has drawn in multiple sheriff’s departments, Michigan State Police, and local fire crews. While that is outside Grand Traverse County, it is a reminder to riders here at home to check trails, travel in pairs, and keep a close eye on changing early season conditions.On a lighter note, the city is leaning into the long evenings as we head toward the winter solstice. Local astronomers and environmental groups are using the darker days to encourage residents to get outside, look up at the night sky, and be mindful of light pollution. For families, it is a good excuse for a hot cocoa walk, some backyard stargazing, and maybe an early night in.If you are looking for things to do today, food lovers might want to head toward the Kitchen Takeover featuring Hello Darlin by Oakwood, a pop up experience bringing a fresh menu into a local kitchen for a limited run. It is a chance to taste something new while supporting the local culinary scene.Meanwhile, with another blast of winter on the way, a Traverse City based home improvement expert is reminding homeowners to check windows, weatherstripping, and bathroom ventilation now to cut heating costs and avoid cold weather damage later. A little weekend project could mean a warmer, more efficient home by January.This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.
