More closures of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge are coming.
In his report to the council, Houghton Police Chief John Donnelly said the Michigan Department of Transportation is planning 15 minutes delays next week after 7pm with half hour delays after 11pm.

In other business, the annual arrangement between the city and the Senior Class of Houghton High School was struck again.
The city will donate a certain amount of money to the class to support their substance-free graduation party in return for students showing up to help do a little spring cleaning in the city.
The more students that show up, the larger the donation.
