Beulah Brainstorm
The Beulah Village Council has unanimously approved the first set of recommendations from the Beulah Brainstorm, a recent set of public meetings on improving Village parks, streets, and waterfront.

At the Council’s March 6 meeting, the Beulah Brainstorm committee presented a summary of short and long-term actions that resulted from the meetings. The Brainstorm committee received approval to move forward and spend up to $10,000 on items like new benches, bike racks, trash receptacles, flower boxes and attractive signage for parks, parking, and amenities such as the Betsie Valley Trail. The Council also gave its go-ahead for a Brainstorm project involving area students in painting Village trash receptacles.

The full summary of recommendations, along with meeting notes and comments, is available at the Village Web site: www.villageofbeulah.org., click on the heading Beulah Brainstorm.


The public boat ramp will have some upgrades to correct the drop off (after the ice is gone!) and the water front at Fair Park for erosion control.

Reminders
  • Yard waste should be in plastic bags of less than 25 pounds and placed curb/street side, limbs/brush must be tied in bundles.
  • Dogs are to be on leash and only certified service animals are allowed on the trail. Please clean up after your pets.
  • Red trash bags are sold at Village Office, yellow at Stapletons (single bags) and Shop & Save (10/pkg). Pick-up for red bags is Friday, call 800 number on the yellow bag for pick up day.
  • Business owners and staff are encouraged to park away from the downtown parking in order to save spaces for visitors and patrons.
  • Please don’t feed the birds on the lake, it will only increase the risk of swimmer’s itch
