Department of Planning & Community Development
SCHOOLCRAFT AREA US-131 PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Schoolcraft Area US-131 Planning Committee was formed to study the future of US-131 in the
Schoolcraft area of Kalamazoo County. The Committee consists of representatives of varying
backgrounds from the Townships of Prairie Ronde and Schoolcraft and the Villages of Schoolcraft and
Vicksburg.
Since US-131 is important to the economy and vitality of the Schoolcraft area and the entire
County, the Committee encourages citizens to participate in this community-wide planning process.
The main objectives of the Committee are to (1) inform the community about issues related to US-131;
(2) obtain community consensus on US-131; and, (3) recommend to the Michigan Department of
Transportation the requirements of the community regarding US-131. This Committee will also
compliment the US-131 planning activities that have been occurring in St. Joseph County for the past
seven years.
Meeting dates and other inquiries can be made to the Department of Planning & Community Development at (269) 384-8115.
All meetings are open to the public.

Definition of Consensus
"Consensus is a decision making process which equalizes power over a group of people. Instead of simply voting for an item and having the majority of the group get their way, the group has to sit down and get a solution to a problem that everyone is ok with. Consensus is based on compromise and the ability to find common ground."
