While not part of his regular duties, Wayne City Attorney
Paul Bohn grabbed his chainsaw and went to work. Together with Matt Mulholland, City of Wayne
HR Director, the two worked alongside volunteer Wayne residents to remove log
jams in the Rouge River.
The City is also removing the dam underneath Wayne Road at
the River, made possible by a $1 million grant from the Federal Government. This project will remove the outdated
impediment and improve the river for fish and other aquatic life.
Once the dam is removed and the log jams cleared, the river
will be more accessible for canoeists.
Presently, those canoeing this stretch of the Rouge have to exit the
river and make a dangerous portage across Wayne Road to get around the
dam. The goal is to clear the river all
the way from Hannan Road downstream to Merriman Road by the time the dam
removal is completed this fall. After
the work is done, this will be a prime recreational location right in our own backyards.
Paul Bohn, an avid outdoor enthusiast, is also a partner at
Fausone Bohn, LLP. He encourages
residents to come out and help clear the river and restore it to its natural
beauty.
