Sam Sinjari's Plan for Belle River

Belle River is the largest community in the Municipality of Lakeshore — a Lake St. Clair waterfront town with a historic main street, the Belle River Marina, and a strong sense of identity. Sam Sinjari's plan focuses on the waterfront, the downtown, flood resilience, and the County Road 22 corridor.

What defines Belle River?

Belle River sits on the shore of Lake St. Clair and is one of Lakeshore's two oldest communities. Its marina, beach, and downtown are central to community life — and its lakefront location also makes flood and shoreline resilience a real concern.

What issues matter most here?

The future of the Belle River Marina (currently the subject of a municipal survey), main-street vitality, waterfront access, flooding and drainage, and traffic on the County Road 22 corridor.

Sam's plan for Belle River

Protect and enhance the waterfront and marina, support main-street revitalization through the Belle River BIA, prioritize drainage and shoreline resilience, and press for the County Road 22 / Manning interchange that affects everyone who drives the corridor.

Respecting Belle River

Belle River has its own history and identity. As one of Lakeshore's 13 communities, it deserves a mayor who shows up here — not just at ribbon-cuttings.
