Additional thoughts: Monthly collection by Republic is sufficient, but the city should consider expanding its self-service recycling availability for overflow needs rather than rely on the volunteer based Midland Recyclers. I would also hope the city already has a waste management plan.

Are there any additional high priority items the Master Plan should address? Continue work on improving the city sewers. Top notch cities have working infrastructure and don't have two sewer catastrophes in a span of 3 years. While the dams bursting had a lot to do with the second flood, the continued development of new homes without improving our underlying infrastructure has contributed to our city's issues. Without addressing all of the root causes, we won't be able to prevent another water disaster from happening again.

One of your answer options was create "future proof" developments (or something to that effect). Along those lines, we should really be considering future proofing our sewers and water treatment facilities to avoid significant property losses happening in the same neighborhoods again. From what we've learned, the city did a great job updating half the city after the 1986 flood, but is just getting around to my side of town and at significant cost to home owners who are "eligible" for participation.

Additional thoughts: Midland needs an Indoor playspace for children, within Downtown or walking distance of it. We have snow for 4-5 months of the year. When the museum and/or library are closed due to flooding, indoor recreation spaces are lacking. A space that is suitable for the sensory needs of autistic and Disabled children would also he a valuable and unique addition to Midland.

Additional thoughts: This area lacks social recreational opportunities for families. Outside of axe throwing and small Mall play area for children under age 7, there is nowhere for families to spend structured time together. Cultivate Coffee offers open space, but indoor or even outdoor recreation spaces or useable kinetic installations (like the artistic swings and spinning chairs uses in places like Boston and Grand Rapids) would help drawn people to this center of commerce.
