Drive-thru coffee shop traffic concerns at Kegomic/US-31

Neighbors and the township board worry 300 more cars a day at the already congested US-31/M-119 and Kegomic/Zaiger intersections will make things dangerous, especially for Tannery Creek condo residents with only two exits. The county road engineer didn't think a traffic study was warranted, and the commission approved anyway 8-1.
