A decrepit but popular dock used by boaters visiting Leland has been removed with little chance that it will be replaced.
The 96-foot dock, which lined the Leland River at a state-owned boat launch located between the Bluebird and Riverside restaurants, was removed on April 10 by a MDNR crew. The project had been granted a permit by the state Water Resources Division of the Department of Environmental, Great Lakes, and Energy.
Township residents quickly expressed their displeasure. Leland Township supervisor Susan Och reported that her “phone blew up” as news moved through the community. Six written complaints had been received prior to the Township Board meeting held Monday night. She received two email complaints that morning.
