Gary Peters: “Our transportation infrastructure in Michigan is as bad as it has ever been”

I commend James Avery, Justus Thigpen Sr., and all the folks who are leading the charge on this revitalization project, and I was proud to be a federal partner in their efforts.

“While this is a positive step forward, the job is not finished until full operations are restored at every impacted Coast Guard station in Michigan, and I’ll keep pushing until that happens.”

The newly renovated Pontiac Oaks Park is a prime example of what’s possible when federal, state, and local officials work together to achieve a common goal.

Making sure we can recruit and retain highly skilled professionals for this essential workforce will improve railway safety in communities across the country.
