community college in Michigan.
Included in that plan were a com-
plete review of the curriculum to
improve the quality of teaching;
review of all policies and proce-
dures; student recruitment and
retention programs and tightening
of internal fiscal controls,” said
Ivery, during the dedication of the
terrace.
“Ted Scott has had an impact on
the lives of thousands living in
Wayne County through his many
years of service as a trustee for the
Wayne County Community College
District. As chair of the WCCCD
Board, Mr. Scott was instrumental
in helping to position the college to
achieve stability and a new direc-
tion.”
It was Ivery who proposed the
memorial terrace, although Scott
admitted he suspected his wife,
Sharon Scott, now in her first term
on the same board where he
served, of proposing the idea.
“I didn't have anything to do
with it,” she said. “This was all Dr.
Ivery's idea. He proposed it to the
board of trustees last spring andwe
approved it.”
The terrace was officially dedi-
cated last week in a ceremony
attended bymembers of the college
community, elected officials, and
many of Scott's friends and family
members.
“The Ted Scott Environmental
Terrace will be a place where our
students and members of this com-
munity can gather for years to
come,” said WCCCD Board
Chairman Charles Paddock. “We
know that this will provide an
invigorating atmosphere where
learning and collegiality can take
place.”
A long-time friend of Scott's and
a fellow former Westland Fire
Chief MikeReddy, also spoke at the
dedication remarking on Scott's
contributions to the college and the
entire community.
Scott expressed his gratitude at
the honor. “It's nice to be remem-
bered. I've been gone for some time
from the board. This was truly an
honor. It's a lovely spot.”
Scott and his wife have lived in
Westland since 1959. They are the
parents of three daughters, have
five grandchildren and one great-
grandchild.

CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CANTON
ACCESS TO PUBLIC MEETINGS
The Charter Township of Canton will provide necessary reasonable auxiliary aids and services, such as signers for the hearing impaired
and audio tapes of printed materials being considered at the meeting, to individuals with disabilities at the meeting/hearing upon two
weeks notice to the Charter Township of Canton. Individuals with disabilities requiring auxiliary aids or services should contact the
Charter Township of Canton by writing or calling the following:
David Medley, ADA Coordinator
Charter Township of Canton, 1150 S. Canton Center Road

the works, according to LaJoy.
Canton funded one third of a
$450,000 study in 2003 that looked
at the impact of the intersection
from Five Mile Road down to I-94
that outlined several suggested
improvements, including con-
structing new interchanges at
Warren or Cherry Hill roads, or the
$22 million in work proposed along
Ford Road. The project includes
two new 'slip' ramps that would use
the existing exits from I-275, but
divert traffic instead to Haggerty
Road, alleviating some of the con-
gestion at the Ford/Haggerty inter-
section. A service drive would also
be constructed from Cherry Hill
Road north to Ford that would pro-
vide direct freeway access, aswell.
The cost of constructing new
interchanges at Warren or Cherry
Hill would be about $200 million,
according toFaas.
Canton applied for the TIGER
grants-which were made available
through
the American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act
(ARRA) twice before, but was
rejected both times. LaJoy said
another $500 million in grants was
made available in 2011 and, with
increased support from the
Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT) and the
senate resolutions, he said he
hopes to secure the funding this
time around.
“Everything is up to the federal
government, but MDOThas towant
it,” he told the senate panel. “They
have to get passionate.”
Westland Mayor Bill Wild spoke
about the necessity of the improve-
ments since Ford Road is one of
the main entry points into his com-
munity and helps shuttle people to
the Westland Mall-the largest sin-
gle retail development in the area-
as well as the new theater that
opened last week onWayneRoad.
“A long term solution must be
put in place to alleviate the traffic,”
he said.
Livonia Mayor Jack Kirksey-
who joked that his city was a sub-
urb of Canton-and Northville
Township Manager Chip Snider
each testified that alleviating traf-
fic at the interchange would help
alleviate traffic in their communi-
ties, aswell.
Wayne Mayor Al Haidous said it
was important to improve because
the population of his city grows by
about 10,000 during every work day
and many of those workers travel
along I-275 to get there.
“It's very important to the eco-
nomic growth in our area to have
the traffic flow tomake it easier for
the people to come to work and go
back home,” said Haidous. “I think
the issue here for Canton, it's not a
matter of engineering and study.
The State of Michigan has lost too
many jobs. We're trying to create
more jobs bring back people to
work. We have to make it easier for
them. This project should not be
delayed at sucha critical time.”
LaJoy agreed, saying the project
would be an economic boon for the
area, too. For the $20 million
investment, the state would receive
a $45 million return in direct rev-
enue.
“This project would be a big
shot in the arm for the county,” he
said.
The committee approved the
two resolutions unanimously.
“You've certainly done your
homework here, through the years,
to justify this,” said State Sen. Tom
Casperson (R-Escanaba), who
chairs the transportation commit-
tee.
