It's going to be another month before we know if there are any changes in store for next year's Labor Day Bridge Walk on the Mackinac Bridge.
The Mackinac Bridge Authority is scheduling a public meeting in Lansing to hear from participants before deciding any changes to the 2018 walk.
The group is meeting this week to talk about proposed changes that include the bridge walk direction, busing and date. However, recognizing that the annual walk draws people from all over, the MBA is setting another public meeting to discuss the options before making a final decision.
"I had hoped we could come to this meeting today and make a decision, but as comments continue to come in, it's clear that we need additional input before finalizing plans," said Bill Gnodtke, chairman of the MBA board. "This will give people both additional time and opportunities to share their comments with us through our website and in person."
The MBA has also been collecting comments in meetings with Straits area businesses and tourism groups and through its website.
The meeting in Lansing will take place on Monday, November 20 at 9am, though a specific venue for the meeting has yet to be decided. We will keep you posted.
