#GrandRapidsMI - Heavy equipment hits the #GrandRiver as historic #DamRemoval begins
Story by Brian McVicar, July 1, 2026
"Heavy equipment rolled into the Grand River Wednesday as crews installed a temporary barrier downstream of Gillett Bridge to catch sediment and debris, the first step in a long-planned effort to remove four aging low-head dams.
"The floating yellow barrier, known as a turbidity curtain, is designed to contain clouds of sediment stirred up during construction and prevent it from drifting downstream, said Mike Staal, river restoration project manager for the City of Grand Rapids.
" 'If there’s turbidity in the water, it impacts the aquatic habitat,' he said. 'So what we want to do is just minimize any of the impact, keep the sediment where it is.'
"The turbidity curtain is just the beginning of a carefully choreographed, two-year construction effort to remove four, century-old low-head dams along a half-mile stretch of the Grand River between Fulton Street and I-196. The result, officials say, will be a more natural waterway—safer for recreation, better for fish passage and more closely resembling the rapids that gave Grand Rapids its name."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🗺️🖊️ Jerry Gretzinger started doodling a #map of a fictional #city called Ukrania during breaks at a ball bearing factory in 1963.
Six decades later, he still works on it daily – following instructions from a custom deck of playing cards that tell him when to add #buildings, change #colors, or let parts dissolve into “the Void,” a collage of personal scraps. The map now spans thousands of hand-drawn panels.

TOMORROW: Protest & Vigil at Rosa Parks Circle from 3pm to 4pm. - #ICE is out of control. They killed Renée Good. They've kidnapped toddlers and kids. They killed Alex Pretti. All this in #Minneapolis, in little over two weeks.

Our strength, our sense of community, and our ability to participate in a #democracy all depend on our ability to gather together with other people and respond to the injustices we see in the world.

Republicans in MI want to be just like Scrooge when they grow up. They voted along party lines in a surprise vote, to gut $645M that was helping fund things like John Ball Zoo and the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
Oh, and RxKids, the nation’s first-ever community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription program.
-
We need to voice our concerns about Kent County's cooperation with ICE abductions and detainments.
Help us remind the #KentCounty Commissioners that they serve our community and are NOT a federal agency by joining our letter writing campaign.

CW: Grand Rapids UICA closing
The UICA (Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts) in Grand Rapids is closing. What a bummer.
https://www.uica.org/uica-update-120822
I remember going to see art films at the Race Street Gallery in high school in the 80s. It was an intellectual wonder for a pretentious teenager like me.
UICA was acquired by Ferris State University in 2013, and lost its mojo shortly thereafter, eventually moving in 2021 into the stodgy old building that had formerly been the stodgy old Grand Rapids Art Museum.
https://kcad.ferris.edu/news/the-art-of-right-now-for-40-years-running.html
I may not have paid it much attention in years, but I feel bad for the current generation of pretentious teenagers in my hometown who have one less place to find fellow weirdos and be inspired to do interesting things. I’m sure they’ll be fine, but it’s a drag this town can’t support something like the UICA.
