There's much buzz from the 1,200 year-round residents of Harsens Island, as David Byson, owner of Champions Auto Service (the only public way to get on and off the island), plans to retire (http://www.freep.com/article/20120815/NEWS05/308150087/Harsens-Island-stunned-as-owner-of-only-ferry-service-announces-plans-to-retire). Although he hasn't yet given a date for a possible shut down, the Michigan Public Service Commission wants a smooth transition to whatever might replace it.
I guess these folks on Harsens Island might refgret now to not letting MIDOT to built a bridge.
