Hancock working to mitigate threats to snowmobilers

A recent crash involving a snowmobile and passenger car on Ingot Street has the City of Hancock taking steps to try and keep more accidents from happening. Manager Mary Babcock addressed work being planned by MDOT at a busy crossing on M-203 west of downtown.

Babcock says that the Hancock Police Department has been personally observing where trails cross Ingot Street on the city’s north end. Babcock is hoping that they will issue concrete recommendations for the intersections that can be incorporated once summer work, already scheduled for the road, is completed.

All options will be on the table.

Babcock’s report said that reviews of the rental ordinance documents had come back mostly positive so far. She teased the existence of three preliminary designs for the city’s new logo. Babcock also asked for two work sessions next month to deal with the budget before a final adoption in May.
