Paving project planned for Ransom

Posted on by

On or around July 29, weather depending, the city of GR has contracted to have Ransom NE paved between Lyon and Fulton. Paving will last one day it appears and require a closure of the street for that one day. The date will be confirmed as it approaches.

Prior to the paving, smaller localized partial lane closures etc. will occur as they prepare for the paving. This will include some tasks around drains, manholes, etc. as well as rotomilling (crushing into small pieces) the existing roadway surface. These preparatory tasks should NOT lead to a road closure.

It is anticipated the paving on the 29th will be completed in one day.

They’re led by Eric Schalk, the director of New City Neighbors’ Breaktime Bakery and its sister program Breaktime. He gave up culinary art to pursue youth ministry, but Breaktime Bakery combines his passion for God, kids and the culinary art form.

Schalk spent a semester studying culinary art at Grand Rapids Community College. While taking classes, he got a job at Fourth Reformed Church doing youth ministry. He says this position made him realize that youth ministry was his true passion and calling.
