LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. MM DOT SAYS THE NOISE BEING GENERATED BY I 75 IS THAT
ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. WE WILL NOT
GIVE UP ITS OUR LIVES. OUR KIDS
LIES BUT HOMEOWNERS WHO TURNED
OUT IN FORCE TONIGHT IN TROY
DISAGREE. AFTER I 75 TROY
UNDERWENT A MAKEOVER. PEOPLE WHO
LIVE NEAR THE FREEWAY SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS HAVE MADE THEIR
LIVES A MISERY. THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US. I’M KIMBERLY GILL
DEVIN SCILLIAN. THEY SAY THE
TRAFFIC NOISE HAS INCREASED TO
THE POINT. THEY FEEL LIKE NOW
THEY ARE ON THE FREEWAY.
MACDONALD LIVE IN TROY TONIGHT.
THE UPGRADES TO 75 REQUIRED THAT
WE HAD A LOT OF TREES COMING
DOWN TO RAISE THE FREEWAY. IT
WAS A LOT, MARA. IT WAS A LOT TO
HEAVEN AND TO PUT THIS INTO
CONTEXT FOR EVERYBODY WERE ON
SQUARE LAKE ROAD WERE JUST EAST
OF I 75 RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE A
TON OF SUBDIVISIONS THAT LINE
THIS ENTIRE STRETCH. IT IS 11
O’CLOCK AT NIGHT. THIS CERTAINLY
ISN’T A HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC
TIME. BUT TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT
IT SOUNDS LIKE IF LIVE HERE
RIGHT NOW. NEIGHBORS SAY IF THEY
OPEN THEIR WINDOWS AT NIGHT.
IT’S LIKE YOU’RE RIGHT ON THE
FREEWAY. NEIGHBORS CROWDING INTO
DETROIT COMMUNITY CENTER TO HEAR
EM DOT GIVE THE RESULTS OF A
NOISE STUDY. WHAT WE WANT TO DO,
THOUGH, IS BEING FORTHRIGHT. WE
WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT IN THE
FACT THAT TALKING ABOUT HOW THE
STUDY TOOK PLACE. WHAT WE DID TO
YOU KNOW, WORK, THIS STUDY. OH,
WE. TOOK THE MEASUREMENTS BOTTOM
LINE AFTER THE RESULTS WERE
RELEASED. THE STUDY FINDS THE
DECIBEL LEVELS TO BE ACCEPTABLE
, TRUSTED DOCTOR TO SAY THEY
WILL LOOK AT OUR INTEREST IN THE
WHOLE PROCESS. WHAT I’M FINDING
OUT NOW IS THAT WAS JUST TO SORT
OF QUIET US DOWN. NEIGHBORS IN
ONE SUB HAD SO LITTLE FAITH IN
THIS STUDY. THEY COMMISSIONED
THEIR OWN. THEY PUT SENSORS
MULTIPLE SENSORS ABOUT 30 OF
THEM IN OUR SUBDIVISION, THE
RESULTS AND AT SOME POINT OUR
DECIBEL LEVEL HAD GONE TO 90. AT
THE OSHA REQUIRES THAT 80 SHOULD
BE PUTTING HEADPHONES ON
NEIGHBOR AFTER NEIGHBOR TELLING
THE SAME STORY PRIOR TO THE 75
MODERNIZATION EFFORT, THE
TRAFFIC NOISE WAS NEGLIGIBLE.
NOW I CAN TELL YOU WHEN TRUCKERS
WERE SHIFTING GEARS. YOU CAN
HEAR THE MOTORCYCLES REVVING BY
SPORTS CAR WHEN SOMEONE HITS A
RUMBLE STRIP. YOUR TEETH
VIBRATE. BACK HERE ALIVE DOT HAS
PUT UP SOME SOUNDPROOFING WALLS
AND IS ALSO REPLANTED TREES. THE
POINT OF THESE NEIGHBORS IS IT’S
SIMPLY IS TOO LITTLE TO COMBAT
THE PROBLEM, BUT WITH THIS NOISE
STUDY, IT ESSENTIALLY SAYS
THERE’S NO MONEY IN THEM DOT TO
ADD ANYMORE. SO WHAT CAN
NEIGHBORS DO AT THIS POINT?
TRYING TO APPEAL TO THEIR STATE
LEGISLATORS TO SEE IF THEY CAN
COME UP WITH SOME SORT OF AN
APPROPRIATION. LIVE IN TROY
TONIGHT. MARA MACDONALD, LOCAL
4, RIGHT, MARA HOME IN HIGHLAND
PARK IS BECOMING A MAGNET FOR
OUT OF CONTROL DRIVERS THAT KEEP
PLOWING THROUGH A PRIVACY FENCE.
IT’S BEEN HIT MORE THAN 10 TIMES
AS OUR PAMELA OSBORNE SHOWS US.
THE LATEST CRASH SENT ANOTHER
VEHICLE PLOWING THROUGH IT. WE
HAVE COURSE, WANTED TO BE THERE
AT THE HOUSE TO SHOW YOU SOME OF
THE DAMAGE TO THAT FENCE, BUT
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF BIG DOGS
IN THE YARD WHO WEREN’T EXACTLY
HAPPY TO SEE US, WHICH IS
UNDERSTANDABLE AFTER THE DAY
THEY HAD TUESDAY WITH YET
ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING INTO
THEIR YARD AND CRASHING ON THEIR
PROPERTY. THEY USED TO HIT THE
HOUSE AND THEN I PUT THE FENCE
UP. SO NOW THEY’RE TEARING DOWN
THE FENCE, AND THEY’VE TONED
DOWN THE FENCE THREE TIMES IN 90
DAYS. WE WERE AT ISABELLA
GARRITY’S HOUSE LAST JUNE. THAT
WAS THE DAMAGE THEN. THIS IS NOW
A MAN. THEY RAN THROUGH YOUR
FENCE AND I GO BACK THERE AND I
SEE THE CARS IN THE BACKYARD.
SCOTTY’S HIGHLAND PARK HOME SITS
AT THE CORNER OF JOHN ARE IN THE
DAVISON SERVICE DRIVE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON, HER FENCE WAS HIT.
AGAIN I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY
WON’T LET HER PUT UP SOME TYPE
OF BARRICADES RIGHT HERE BECAUSE
EVERY TIME THEY HAVE AN
ACCIDENT, THEY SEEM TO FIND OUR
BACKYARD. THE CAR ALWAYS END UP
IN OUR BACKYARD SON, WILLIAM
DOZIER SAYS IT’S DANGEROUS TO BE
IN THE YARD. BUT THE LAST TIME
THEY HIT MY MOTHER, THE LAST
TIME THAT INCIDENT IS STILL
BEING SORTED OUT. MEANTIME
THEY’RE WAITING TO SEE IF THE
DRIVERS INVOLVED IN THIS CRASH
HAD INSURANCE. HAS THEY WORRY
ABOUT THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY,
WHICH HAS HAD TO PUT THE BILL
MORE THAN ONCE DROPPING THEM IF
YOU’RE IN THE BACKYARD? YOU’RE
TRYING TO HURRY UP AND DO WHAT
YOU’RE DOING AND GET OUT THE
BACKYARD. BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW
WHAT’S GOING TO COME THROUGH THE
FENCE NEXT. IF THERE IS ONE GOOD
THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS, IT’S
THAT MS GATTI WAS OUT OF TOWN
VISITING A RELATIVE IN FLORIDA.
GLAD SHE WASN’T HERE BECAUSE
IT’S A NICE DAY, AND SHE WOULD
HAVE BEEN OUT THERE IN THE
BACKYARD REPORTING IN HIGHLAND
PARK ON PAMELA OSBORNE FOUR
LOCAL GLAD SHE WAS GONE. ALL

WE’RE GETTING AN UPDATE TONIGHT
ON PAUL WHELAN, WHO, OF COURSE,
REMAINS DETAINED IN RUSSIA ON
ESPIONAGE CHARGES. THE NOVI
NATIVE SPOKE WITH FAMILY MEMBERS
ON MONDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
NEARLY TWO WEEKS, WHEELING WAS
TOLD ABOUT WALL STREET JOURNAL
REPORTER EVAN GERSH POVICH’S
ARREST IN RUSSIA ON ESPIONAGE
CHARGES. PAUL’S BROTHER, DAVID
SAYS HE HOPES BOTH CASES GET
EQUAL ATTENTION FROM THE U. S
GOVERNMENT. I THINK THEY ARE
BOTH AMERICAN CITIZENS, AND THEY
BOTH DESERVE THE FULL WEIGHT OF
THE U. S GOVERNMENT BEHIND THEM,
REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEIR
PROFESSION IS, REGARDLESS OF HOW
THEY ENDED UP IN THIS SITUATION
THEY’VE BEEN LABELED WRONGFULLY
DETAINED. THEY’VE BEEN CHARGED
WITH THE SAME CRIMES AND I THINK
THEY DESERVE THE SAME TREATMENT.
WHEELAN IS SERVING A 16 YEAR
PRISON SENTENCE ON THE SPYING
ACCUSATIONS. HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF MICHIGANDERS MAY
HAVE THEIR CRIMINAL RECORDS
WIPED CLEAN, THE STATE LAUNCHED
ITS NEW AUTOMATIC EXPUNGEMENT
PROGRAM TODAY. IT’S PART OF A
LAW ENACTED BACK IN 2020
SOFTWARE WILL SEARCH THE STATE’S
CRIMINAL DATABASE SYSTEM DAILY
AND AUTOMATICALLY EXPUNGE SOME
CONVICTIONS. THERE ARE
QUALIFICATIONS TO BE ELIGIBLE,
BASED ON HOW MUCH TIME HAS
LAPSED SINCE SENTENCING. THE
STATE ESTIMATES THIS WILL HELP
ONE MILLION PEOPLE 400,000 TODAY
ALONE. WELL I THINK IT’S A GREAT
IDEA BECAUSE THERE’S A LOT OF
PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT MANY YEARS
AGO GOT IN TROUBLE FOR WHATEVER
REASON, YOU KNOW, YOUTHFUL
OFFENDERS. THAT THEY ARE
CONDEMNED TO THIS FOR THE REST
OF THEIR LIVES. PEOPLE WHO THINK
THEY QUALIFY CAN CHECK THE
INTERNET DATABASE TO SEE THEIR
PUBLIC RECORD. THERE IS, THOUGH
, A $10 FEE THE WHITE HOUSE
GETTING READY TO FAST TRACK THE
ADOPTION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
PREPARING TO RELEASE STRICT NEW
VEHICLE EMISSION STANDARDS AS
EARLY AS TOMORROW. THESE
PROPOSED RULE CHANGES, IF
IMPLEMENTED, WOULD REQUIRE TWO
THIRDS OF ALL NEW PASTURE
VEHICLES SOLD IN THE U. S TO BE
ELECTRIC BY 2032. CURRENTLY LESS
THAN 6% OF VEHICLES SOLD IN THE
US ARE ELECTRICS. AUTOMAKERS
ALREADY INVESTING BILLIONS TO
MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM GAS TO
EVEY. QUICKER WE CAN BRING
EVERYONE ALONG TO TVS BETTER
IT’S GOING TO BE FOR CLIMATE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT
HAVE TO HAPPEN TO GET US TO A
FULL EVIE CULTURE. FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT, NOT THE ONLY ONE
TRYING TO MAKE CHANGES.
