This week on Currently, Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) digging into three big stories shaping Traverse City’s future. Voters will soon decide on two key ballot proposals: one that would use the Brown Bridge Trust Fund to finance major city park improvements, and another that would lock a new ethics ordinance directly into the city charter. Then we’ll head downtown, where plans for Lot O at State and Cass are moving forward on a major redevelopment — one that pairs affordable housing with a year-round local food market.

Parks, ethics, housing, and food — it’s all on the table.
