  Great Lakes Bulletin Issue 11: Breaking the Sprawl Addiction
Garfield Township, which like other local governments in Michigan has long disdained the influence of outsiders in decisions that affect its future, no longer has a choice.
Garfield's master plan and ordinance, for example, ensure ample entrances and exits onto major highways, and so much distance between residential, commercial, and industrial districts that driving is the only safe way to get around.
In 1994 Garfield Road was widened to four lanes from South Airport to Hammond; in 1995 Hammond was widened to four lanes for a 2.5 mile stretch from LaFranier to Three Mile Road; and in 1998 state highway M31/M37 was widened to four lanes from South Airport six miles to Chum's Corner.

 Garfield
Garfield is the popular comic strip created by Jim Davis featuring the people food eating feline character named Garfield, the less than brilliant pet dog Odie, and their socially inept owner Jon Arbuckle.
First appearing on June 19, 1978 (also considered Garfield's birthday), the syndicated comic strip has been entertaining millions with jokes that poke fun at pet owners and their relationship with their pets often portraying the pet as the true master of the home.
Garfield also appeals because of the way he struggles with very human problems, such as diets, hatred of Mondays, apathy, boredom, and so on.
