Bill would name highway for John Kivela

LANSING, MI--   The state House has introduced a bill that would call a stretch of Upper Peninsula road the Representative John Kivela Memorial Highway.

The measure was introduced last week by 73 members of the House, including Representatives Sara Cambensy, Scott Dianda, and Beau LaFave. If made into law, the bill would name M-95 from the Dickinson County line north to the intersection with US-41 in Kivela’s honor.

The bill is currently in the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
