Sunrise Side Coastal Highway

The Cheboygan Tribune reports that U.S. 23 from Standish to Mackinaw City has been officially recognized as the "Sunrise Side Coastal Highway":

The designation came following more than two years of planning. Initiated by state Rep. Dale Sheltrown, D-West Branch, and Tom Ferguson of Michigan's Sunrise Side Travel Association in the summer of 2001, the process began with the collection of resolutions of support from local units of government along the route.

Three designation ceremonies are scheduled for 9 a.m. on May 21 in Standish, 11 a.m. in East Tawas, and 3:30 p.m. in Harrisville. Members of the general public are invited to attend.
