Brown Bridge Trailhead Project, Housing Programs on City Agenda
By Beth Milligan | Sept. 8, 2026
Traverse City commissioners will vote tonight (Tuesday) to approve work for a new trailhead project along Hobbs Highway at the expanded Brown Bridge Quiet Area. Commissioners will also tackle several housing-related issues, including holding a public hearing for a new attainable housing district program – which residents were recently notified about by certified mail – and a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) request from the Traverse City Housing Commission for a workforce housing project on Eighth Street.
