The GRDA courtesy dock at Eco (above) will be closed for use through November. Access to the area has been closed with fencing and barricades (below).
In order to facilitate a shoreline stabilization project near the Ecosystems and Education Center, the Grand River Dam Authority is announcing that the courtesy dock located on Grand Lake, just behind the center in Langley, will be closed temporarily. Because of the presence of heavy equipment in the area, it is necessary to close the dock and the access path to allow the work to proceed safely. GRDA anticipates the project will be completed in late November.

Tips for Safe Driving

- Deer collisions are most likely to occur during breeding season from October through early January.
- Prime times to find deer near the roadside are around dawn and from dusk to late evening.
- Deer are pack animals. If you see one, rest assured that others are usually close by.
- Always wear your seat belt - Sixty percent of fatal animal crashes occurred when the driver was not wearing a seat belt.
- Know the likely deer-crossing areas - Whether or not the road is marked with a Deer Crossing sign, be especially alert for deer when driving on roads or highways on the outskirts of town and in rural areas, especially where roads divide farm land from wooded land. Be particularly watchful when in heavily wooded areas or when there is tall grass and brush adjacent to the roadway.
- Use your high beams - When driving at night, especially during peak hazard times, use your high-beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. This won't necessarily deter deer from entering the roadway, but it will increase visibility so that you can more easily spot the deer sooner. You may be able to see the reflection of your headlights in their eyes from a distance, but they may blend in with other reflective backgrounds.
- Know when deer are on the move - Be especially careful between 5 AM and 8 AM and between 5 PM and midnight.
- Don't rely on devices - Items like deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors have not been proven effective at deterring deer crossing roadways.
- Brake firmly if you notice a deer in the road - Slow down and stop if necessary. Be careful not to swerve out of your lane either into oncoming traffic or off the shoulder into a ditch.
- Keep your distance - If you strike a deer, don't approach it. An injured deer is frightened and can injure you, as well as further injuring itself. If the deer is blocking the roadway, it poses a threat to other drivers, so call authorities at 911 or *55.
- Contact your insurance agent - If you strike a deer and have damage to your vehicle or damage to someone else's property, notify your insurance representative as soon as possible and give them necessary details.
