Oktoberfest comes to Beery Field in Douglas, the International Festival fills the Holland Civic Center, Blue Coast artists open their studios, Grand Valley stages A Midsummer Night's Dream, and five city councils meet Monday night. Every event on the lakeshore, Sunday to Sunday, by day and by town.
E 8th Street in Holland stays closed for the water main, 120th Avenue and the Black Creek bridge are out until November, the 48th Avenue roundabout is closed into mid-October, and three resurfacing jobs start Monday in Georgetown and Blendon. Every closure on the lakeshore this week, by town.
A storm took out Lakeshore Drive south of Saugatuck in 1988 and the lake has kept it broken. Allegan County's answer is 69th Street, a new road inland with a bike path and spurs to the stranded homes. The design is drawn and the local match is pledged. In July, Washington said no.
