The public is getting a chance to sound off about a recent report outlining alternatives for twin oil pipelines beneath the Straits of Mackinac.
The report by independent contractor Dynamic Risk Assessment Systems Inc. dealt with Enbridge's Line 5. The nearly 5-mile-long (8-kilometer) segment beneath the waterway where Lakes Michigan and Huron meet is divided into two lines.
Environmental groups say the pipelines are old and should be decommissioned, while the company says they're in good shape.
Options in the report include leaving the lines in place, rerouting them, running them through a tunnel, or transporting the oil they carry another way.
Public feedback sessions are scheduled for Monday at 8 a.m. in Holt and 6 p.m. in Traverse City. Another will be Tuesday in St. Ignace at 6 p.m.
