The Michigan Transportation Commission says a new report shows that only about 18% of road in Michigan that receive federal aid are considered in good condition. Also, more than one third of the federally supported roads are considered in poor condition. The commission says the report also shows that since 2004, the number of those roads considered in good condition has declined by one third and the number of roads in poor condition has nearly tripled. The report was conducted by the Transportation Asset Management Council. (MRN)

It was a much safer holiday on Michigan roads this year. The Michigan State Police reports that preliminary reports show three people lost their lives on Michigan roads during the Thanksgiving holiday period. That's way down from the eleven people who died during the same period in 2009. One of the three fatal crashes involved a pedestrian. The other two involved those who were not wearing a seat belt. Alcohol was a known factor in one of the three fatalities. Police emphasize that these are "preliminary" numbers that have been reported to the state police as of noon Monday.
